History
This text was compiled from sourced information with AI assistance and has not yet been reviewed by an editor. Please report any errors.
According to the sources, the mosque was built in the inner citadel immediately after the Ottoman conquest of Ioannina in 1430, although another source dates its construction more generally to the 1430s. The site lay near the remains of a Byzantine church from the early 13th century, dedicated to the archangels Michael and Gabriel.
The first building was of wood. In 1611 it was replaced by a stone structure. In 1795 Ali Pasha, known as the Albanian, had the mosque extensively remodelled and made it the principal mosque of his palace. The tombs of Ali and his family stand in front of the building.
