About
The Tzistarakis Mosque 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, or the Mosque of the Lower Market, due to its proximity to the Ancient Agora of Athens.
