About
The Suleymaniye Mosque or the Mosque of Suleiman (Greek: Σουλεϊμανιγιέ Τζαμί; Turkish: Süleymaniye Camii) is a former mosque in the city of Rhodes, in the South Aegean region of Greece. It was originally built after the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522 and is named after Sultan Suleiman to commemorate his conquest. The mosque was reconstructed in 1808, has been restored several times since, and has been closed for worship since 2014, pending further restoration. It is the most significant surviving Ottoman-era monument in Rhodes.
