The minaret of Selvili Mosque.

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[edit]

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]
