The Fethiye Mosque, completed in 1499 in Nafpaktos, Greece, is a former Ottoman mosque built on the orders of Sultan Bayezid II immediately after the city's capture from the Venetians. Designed in Ottoman architectural style, it served as the city's principal mosque throughout the Ottoman period and was also known as the Bayezid-i Veli Mosque. Abandoned during the 1820s, the building was subsequently repurposed for cultural use and has been extensively restored to function as an exhibition hall.
