History

The mosque was built soon after the Ottoman conquest of Rhodes in 1522 and was the first mosque in the town. It was named by Sultan Suleiman to commemorate his capture of Rhodes.
In 1808 the mosque was rebuilt. Most of the new structure reused materials from buildings that had previously stood on the same site. The columns of the outer portico are said to come from a Christian church.
In 2006 Europa Nostra gave the mosque an honorary recognition.
