Mosque "Neratzes"
During the Venetian times the Mosque
"Neratzes" used to be a church named ‘Santa
Maria'', dedicated to the Mary of Augustans. The little
chapel on its west side was dedicated to the body of Christ. In 1657, the Turks
turned the temple into a mosque named ‘Gazi Housein" or "Neratze", which also
served as an Ottoman seminary. In 1890, the mechanic G. Daskalakis added a
large minaret with two stone-made balconies to the building. Today the Mosque
"Neratzes" is used as a conservatoire.
