PHILIPPION HOTEL
Ottoman mosque with double dome and five domes (c. 1484). Host to exhibitions as part of the Biennale d'art contemporain.
Built around 1484, this Ottoman mosque (Ισάκ Πασά Τζαμί/Isak Pasa Tzami) is distinguished by its double dome and five-domed porch. Closed to worship since 1923, it has lost its minaret and two annex buildings, a medersa (Koranic school) and an imaret (hospice), but retains fragments of frescoes. Also known as the "Colored Imaret"(Alaca Imaret in Turkish, Αλατζά Ιμαρέτ/Alatza Imaret in Greek), it sometimes hosts exhibitions, notably during the Thessaloniki Biennial of Contemporary Art (odd-numbered years).
