HAMZA-BEY MOSQUE
Former mosque (1467). To house an archaeological museum dedicated to the discoveries made during construction of the metro
This Ottoman mosque built in 1467 (Χαμζά Μπέη Τζαμί/Hamza Bey Tzami) is due to house an archaeological museum from 2025, dedicated to the discoveries made during the construction of the metro. It adjoins the main station of the network's only line. The 14 m square prayer hall is dominated by a 17 m high dome and extends into a superb colonnaded courtyard. Closed to worship since 1925, the mosque lost its minaret and housed the Alkazar/Αλκαζάρ cinema (1932-1977). It remains better known by this name locally.
