Alexandroupolis Mosque

The mosque has stood for longer than Alexandroupolis has been a town, its construction dated from 1895. On its grounds originally stood a madrasa, but now just the mosque stands surrounded by other buildings. The mosque, which is built next to a Muslim minority primary school, is still used regularly by the local Muslim community. The mosque has also been subjected to attacks by right-wing nationalists, the most recent of which occurred in 2014. == Architecture ==
