Zinzirli Mosque
Zinzirli Mosque
One of the most famous ottoman mosques
Zinzirli Mosque is located in the southwestern part of the city of Serres, in one of its most densely populated neighborhoods. It is a medium-sized mosque, with a central quadrangular space that on three sides, east, north, and west, is surrounded by a two-story colonnaded portico.
To the south, the rectangular area of the mihrab stands out. The central space is covered with a dome, while the ground floor and the floor of the galleries are covered with boat-shaped domes. In the southwest corner is the minbar, made of marble, one of the best-preserved of its kind in Greece.
On the north side, where the entrance is located, you see the colonnaded porch, which is covered by a dome in the middle and boat-shaped domes on the sides. The gallery is built with carved alabaster using isodomic art, while the main body of the mosque is built with a brick enclosure, where the carved stones are surrounded by plinths.
Architecturally and morphologically, the Zinzirli Mosque is part of a group of late 16th-century buildings preserved in Istanbul and are now considered buildings of the Sinan School, the great architect of the classical period of Ottoman architecture.
