Mosque of Athens, Greece — Full Tour & History 2026

The Mosque of Athens. Also known as the Votanikos Mosque Greece’s first official Islamic worship space. This short documentary traces its architecture, history, and cultural significance, offering a clear, observational view of how faith and identity take shape in modern Athens. Did you know Athens has over 200,000 Muslims, yet for more than 200 years it was the only European capital without a purpose built mosque? This city once had many mosques during the Ottoman era, but after the Greek War of Independence in 1821, most were either destroyed or converted into churches or museums. Finally, in 2016, the Greek government decided to build a mosque funded by the state, and Al'hamdu'lillah, in 2020, this Masjid opened to the public.
