Gazi Deli Hussein Pasha Mosque or Neraze

Originally it was the temple dedicated to the Virgin of Santa Clara "SantaMaria". The church is rectangular in shape and housed in three small domes, which replaced the tiled roof of the Venetian church. The door of the building is one of the most impressive in Rethymnon. The adjacent chapel was dedicated to the Body of Christ. The church was converted into a mosque in 1657 and its chapel into an Ottoman seminary. In 1890 a large minaret with two balconies was added by engineer George Daskalakis and is the tallest in Rethymnon. Today, the Neraze Mosque hosts the City Conservatory.
