Chania
Hasan Pasha MosqueBuilt 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.
