Chania
Hasan Pasha Mosque

Built in 1645 by an Armenian architect, shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Chania, this mosque was the first to be built in Crete. It served as a place of worship until 1923, after which its minaret was demolished and it was used successively as a warehouse, a museum of folk art, a tourist information centre and an annex to the archaeological museum. Today, it has become an exhibition space and an iconic landmark of the old harbour.
