Koursoum Tzami (Mosque)

The Muslim mosque of Osman Sah or Koursum mosque was erected by Osman Sah, who served as commander of the sajaki (prefecture) of Trikala and was buried, in 1567, in the neighbouring octagonal mausoleum. The impressive mosque, which has been declared a monument of architectural heritage by UNESCO, was built by the famous architect of Greek descent, Mimar Sinan, most probably in 1557. At present the mosque serves as an exhibition centre.
