After the Ottomans captured Rhodes from the Knights Hospitaller in 1522, Muslim Turkish populations settled within the walled city, where new mosques were built, while others were made from converted Christian churches in order to serve the new community.[2]
The Ibrahim Pasha Mosque was built in 1540-1541 in what is today Platonos Square by Sultan Suleiman, and is thus the oldest mosque on the island.[3][4]
The mosque's minaret had over the centuries suffered serious decay and damage. In the 1930s, where restoration works were commissioned under Italian rule.[5]
Built within the old medieval town of Rhodes, the mosque consists of a large square room with a twelve-sided dome and two successive pediments alongside the north side. In the northwest corner of the roof, a minaret stands on a polygonal base. An eight-sided fountain can be found in the middle of the yard outside.[3][4]
