Mosque of 16th c., built on the foundations of an early Christian Basilica, probably of the Byzantine church of Agia Paraskevi (under the glass floor of the mosque). It is in the center of the peninsula, near the Fortress.
It was part of a larger complex which included a Madrassah (seminary) with eight rooms for students and a small cemetery of the Byzantine period. During the Ottoman period, the church was turned into a mosque. During the decade 1930-1940 it hosted the Kavala Philarmonic to which it owes the name “Mosque of Music” or “Old Music”.
