Description

The Yeni Mosque was built by Moustafa Aga Koulaxizi approximately in 1825. It is the biggest and most recent Islamic mosque in Mytilene, located in the center of the ex ottoman market, in the neighborhood known today as Epano Skala.

The whole building is made of stone, roofed with a dome (domed) covered with tiles, combining architectural features of Byzantine and Ottoman style. Particularly impressive is the Mihrab inside the building. The Mouftis' house was at the north side of the courtyard.
