Monemvasia Mosque
The Mosque of Monemvasia is a former mosque located in the lower medieval town of Monemvasia, in the Peloponnese region of Greece. Built in 1540 during the Ottoman era, reportedly above a former 16th century church, the mosque was abandoned following Greek independence in 1830, and was subsequently briefly used as a prison.
