Kastellorizo Folk Art Museum
The Kastellorizo Folk Art Museum (Greek: Μουσείο Λαϊκής Τέχνης Καστελλόριζου) is a museum in the small island of Kastellorizo, Greece, housed in a historical Ottoman-era mosque that was known as the Kavos Mosque (Greek: Τζαμί του Κάβου, lit. 'Mosque of the Peninsula') or simply the Kastellorizo Mosque (Greek: Τζαμί του Καστελλόριζου, Turkish: Meis Camii[1]).
Description
Located on the tip of the small peninsula that forms the neighbourhood of Kavos, the island's only mosque, coloured in beige and red colors, was erected on the site of a previous Christian church dedicated to Saint Paraskevi.[2] It was built in 1775.[3] Since July 2007, it houses the Historical Collection of Kastellorizo, mostly consisting of old photographs, pictures, and documents recording the history of Kastellorizo from the nineteenth century until its destruction in 1943 during World War II and 1948, when the island along with the rest of the Dodecanese archipelago joined the rest of Greece, following a brief period under Italian rule.[3][4]
