Fethiye mosque, located on the northern side of the ancient Roman Agora in Athens, near the tower of winds was built on the ruins of a Christian basilica from the middle Byzantine period from the 8th/9th century. The mosque that currently stands at the site was created between 1668 and 1670 by Ottoman Turks. It consists of a porch supported by five arches, each crowned by a small dome. During Ottoman times it was commonly known as the “Wheatmarket Mosque”. It is currently undergoing renovations to be finished by September 2015.
