Bab Gedid Mosque

The Bab Gedid Mosque, also known as the Eski Mosque (Greek: Εσκί Τζαμί, from Turkish: Eski Camii, meaning "the old mosque") was an Ottoman-period mosque on the Aegean island of Kos, in southeastern Greece, before it was badly damaged in an earthquake in 1933 and finally demolished a few years later

in 1935. Today its octagonal stone minaret is all that survives from the original structure.
