The Selvili Mosque (Greek: Σελβιλί Τζαμί, from Turkish: Selvili Camii) also known as the Broken Mosque (Greek: Σπασμένο Τζαμί) locally, was formerly an Ottoman-era mosque in the town of Komotini, Western Thrace, in Greece. It is no longer preserved in any form, as only its minaret survives.
Description
Today, the only thing left of the mosque is its minaret, itself half-destroyed, and an Ottoman grave, dating to 1761 and belonging to Kayserili Suleyman Effendi.[1][2] On January 7, 2019, the Management Committee of the Muslim Property of Komotini completed the registration of the mosque's 472 sq.m. plot at the Cadastral Office of Komotini.[2]
