Küçük Hasan Mosque

A nice remembrance of 300 years Ottoman rule in Crete. There are few other Ottoman period buildings. Inside mosque is now a exhibition art display. You can still admire the mehrab area with Quranic inscriptions. Noted the recent comment mentioning Ottomans as "oppressor's". its a game of power. What were Portuguese were doing in India Goa, Spainders in South America, colonized half of the world. Many places are so beautiful that classed as UNESCO sites. Why not go ahead and decolonize Cordoba mosque and remove this masterpiece architectural site. Anyway, who cares. This old once a Mosque is standing their in Chania for world to remember this period and admire the Ottoman architectural wonders.

While I perfectly understand why the Greeks and other Balkan countries such as the Serbs wished to decolonise themselves from the architecture of their Ottoman oppressors, this building with its almost spherical dome is a handy landmark while walking along or looking towards the seafront. I can't comment on the exhibitions or anything, as it appears to only be open at the weekend and the weekend I was there, everything was shut for Easter.

The spherical dome is a visible landmark in the Old Port, showing the mixture of cultures Crete has experienced throughout its long and rich history

We went for an art show. It was amazing! The space was clean and light. There was a lively feel to it. Not at all what I expected in such an old and historic building. I was very impressed with the restoration and upkeep of this place. The location could hardly be more beautiful. Highly recommend if they have an art or craft show that you stop by and take a look!

Wonderfully transformed mosque. It is a gallery already.

Amazing area with view and food.

I do not know the history of the mosque, but when taken in the context of the full view of the harbor, it's a pleasant site. I had no idea you could go inside, and hopefully I have an opportunity to see it again.

awesome structure ! really beautiful architecture worth the look. Visited while Kazantsakis art exhibition was featuring, was outstanding!
