Minaret of the Bab-Gedid Mosque

The preserved minaret of the destroyed Bab Gedid Mosque.
The Bab Gedid Mosque was built in 1586 (year 995 according to the Islamic calendar). The prayer house was one of the oldest mosques of Kos. On the east side of the mosque there was a fountain for washing before prayer and a small graveyard outside. The mosque was largely destroyed in the 1933 earthquake. Around 1935, with the exception of the minaret, which is still visible today, the remains were demolished in order to implement the new urban development plan of the Italian occupying power. The 11.35 m high minaret - formerly accessed from the inside of the mosque - is octagonal and was added to the north-west side of the former mosque.
The former well on the north side of the minaret bears an inscription with information about the construction of the mosque, the builders/donors (Hajji Mustafa Aga and his wife Fatima) and a motto: "My fellow man, since everything lives thanks to water, why do you think not because of it?” This is said to be taken symbolically from the Koran.
