Tzami Tzentit

An important building in the district is the Tzentit Mosque (Friday Mosque). It is located on the banks of the river Garyllis, at the western end of Angiras street. It was built in 1835 by Hatzi Ibrahim Aga (known as Koproulou), after promising to build a temple in the area if he returned safely from the Battle of Accra in Palestine. The mosque was destroyed in 1894 due to flooding of the river.^[1][3] It was rebuilt in 1909.^[1][4] The Tzentit Mosque is also known as Cami-i Cedit (New Mosque) or Koproulou Ibrahim Mosque or Dere Camisi (Stream Mosque).^[5] The mosque used to have a madrasa.^[6]
