Şadırvan Mosque, Drama

Drama Municipality, Greece

The Sadirvan Mosque (from Şadırvan Camii, lit. 'mosque of the fountain') is a former mosque in the town of Drama, in the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region of northern Greece. Built in the 15th century during the Ottoman era, the mosque was abandoned in the 1920s, following the 1923 population exchange between Greece and Turkey which saw the exodus of the Muslim community of Drama. The building was subsequently repurposed for profane use and then neglected for decades. During the late 2010s, the structure was restored and renovated and repurposed for municipal exhibition center for historical and cultural events. It is one of the four surviving mosques in Drama today, none of which are used for worship any longer.
