"Im Herzen der Altstadt an der Platia Petichaki steht die größte Moschee der Stadt mit ihrem hoch aufragenden Gebetsturm, der die Tis Nerantzes Moschee weithin sichtbar macht. Dieses Minarett stammt aus dem Jahre 1896 und ist bestens erhalten. Das Gebäude, zu dem der Gebetsturm gehört, ist erheblich älter. Ursprünglich diente es den Venezianern als Kirche, bis es im Jahre 1657 unter der Herrschaft von Pascha Gaza Hussein in eine Moschee umgewandelt wurde. Das Gebäude verfügt über drei Kuppeln, die aus der Nähe nicht zu überblicken sind. Von 1925 an war die Moschee eine wieder Kirche, inzwischen wird sie als Gemeinde- und Konzertsaal genutzt." - Quelle: (visit link)
