Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Mosque

The Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Mosque (Hungarian: Jakováli Hasszán dzsámija, Turkish: Yakovalı Hasan Paşa Camii) is a late 16th-century mosque in Pécs, southern Hungary. It was constructed when the region was part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, around the same time as the main mosque of Pécs, the Mosque of Pasha Qasim (which has since been consecrated as a cathedral). It was named after the local government official who commissioned the mosque, Yakovalı Hasan Paşa (Hasan Paşa of Gjakova). It is thus one of the oldest mosques existing in Hungary today. The mosque is still active as a Muslim place of worship, and also houses a small exhibition centre for Turkish handicraft and historical artifacts documenting Hungary's Ottoman past.
