From Wikipedia
The Tzistarakis Mosque (Greek: Τζαμί Τζισταράκη, Turkish: Cizderiye Camii) is a former mosque in Monastiraki Square, central Athens, in the Attica region of Greece. Built in 1759 during the Ottoman era, the building has since been repurposed as a traditional art museum – as an annex of the Museum of Greek Folk Art.
The former mosque was also known as the Mosque of the Lower Fountain (Τζαμί του Κάτω Σιντριβανιού), or the Mosque of the Lower Market (Τζαμί του Κάτω Παζαριού), due to its proximity to the Ancient Agora of Athens.
