Overview

The Bab Gedid Mosque, from the Ottoman Turkish Bab-ı Cedid ("New Gate"), is also called the Eski Mosque, meaning "Old Mosque". Today it is also referred to as Yenikapı Camii. It was an Ottoman-period place of worship in the town of Kos, on the Greek island of the same name in the Aegean Sea. It stood near Diagoras Square, close to Pisandrou Street. It no longer functions as a mosque because the building was destroyed in the twentieth century. Its octagonal stone minaret is all that remains of the original structure.
History

The mosque dates from the Ottoman period on Kos, though the available material gives no date of construction or founder. In 1933 an earthquake struck the island and largely destroyed the building. The damaged structure was then demolished in 1935. Only the minaret was left standing.
From Wikipedia
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.
