Çelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque

The Çelebi Sultan Mehmed Mosque , also known as the Bayezid Mosque and the Great Mosque , is an early 15th-century Ottoman mosque in Didymoteicho, East Macedonia and Thrace, in the far northeast of Greece.

The 17th-century Ottoman traveller Evliya Çelebi records that the mosque was begun under Sultan Bayezid I , but after his death at the Battle of Ankara and the turmoil that followed, it was interrupted. Construction was taken up again under Sultan Mehmed I , and the mosque was completed and inaugurated in March 1420, as recorded in the inscription above the main entrance. A second inscription over a side-entrance records the name of the architect Ivaz ibn Bayezid, the builder Dogan ibn Abdullah and the local qadi, Seyid Ali, who supervised construction.
