The Parthenon mosque refers to two former mosques created one after the other within the Parthenon, on the Acropolis in central Athens. The first was made in the Ottoman period by adapting the Church of Our Lady of Athens, which occupied the building. The second was a free-standing structure placed in the open space of the naos of the Parthenon, by then a ruin. This second mosque was dismantled in 1843.
