Description

The mosque was built after the Ottoman conquest of Arta in 1449, but the exact year of its completion is undetermined. Today the mosque is converted to a private house. Signs of architectural alterations and abandonment are evident. According to Seraphim Xenopoulos, a former Metropolitan of the city, this mosque was situated in the muslim neighborhood of Eliyas Bey. The mosque originally had a minaret which was demolished in the 20th century after an unknown event.
