The Osmaniye Mosque, located on the island of Chios in Greece's North Aegean region, is an Ottoman-era structure completed in 1892. Also known locally as the Frangomachala Mosque, after the Frankish Quarter where it stands, the building exemplifies Ottoman architectural traditions. Abandoned in 1912 following the end of Ottoman rule in the region, the mosque was subsequently repurposed for cultural use and is now designated as an archaeological site in Greece.
