Ibrahim Pasha Mosque

Standing in one of the most central and atmospheric spots of the Medieval Town of Rhodes, the Ibrahim Pasha Mosque offers visitors a vivid glimpse into the island’s Ottoman heritage.

The mosque was built in 1536 by Pargali Ibrahim Pasha, a prominent figure of the Ottoman Empire, and completed four years later, in 1540, after his death. As the oldest surviving Ottoman monument in Rhodes, it is a must-see destination for history enthusiasts.

Its striking white minaret, visible from the main harbor, has endured centuries of wear and damage but was fully restored during the Italian occupation, giving it the elegant appearance visitors admire today.

Outside, the small square is adorned with a charming octagonal fountain, a well-known landmark on Sofokleous Street and a popular gathering spot for travelers exploring Rhodes Old Town.

Inside, the mosque features a serene, carefully maintained prayer hall topped with an impressive dome. Remarkably, it is the only mosque on Rhodes to have remained in continuous use since its construction, officially receiving permission from the Greek state in 2019.

Whether you are visiting for history, architecture, or cultural exploration, the Ibrahim Pasha Mosque in Medieval Town is an unmissable part of the island’s historic landmarks and Ottoman heritage.
