Lire l'histoire

The mosque of Ierapetra was built in the old city ( Kato Mera ) at the end of the 19th century, when the Turks conquered Ierapetra and modified the church of Saint John (Agios Ioannis) for their religious purposes. It is held to date in a pretty good condition.

It is spacious and has a Muslim inscription from the Koran on the marble lintel of the entrance. Its minaret was repaired around 1953 and dominates the district.

Opposite the mosque there is an Muslim fountain , which has also been restored.
