Ce qu'en disent les visiteurs
The restoration is still ongoing. We couldn't go inside. I think if there's anything that can be done financially, our government should intervene. Unfortunately, it seems they'll wait until the mosque collapses.
Unfortunately, the Ottoman New Mosque is neglected. A sign outside shows plans for restoration, and hopefully we will see the day it reopens for worship.
À propos
La mosquée Validé (en grec : Βαλιδέ Τζαμί, du turc : Valide Camii, litt. « Mosquée de la Validé Sultan »), connue localement sous le nom de Validé Djami, est une ancienne mosquée à Mytilène, sur l'île de Lesbos, dans la région de la mer Égée-Septentrionale, en Grèce. Achevée en 1615 à l'époque ottomane, elle fut abandonnée dans les années 1920, à la suite des guerres balkaniques et de l'échange de populations gréco-turc, et se trouve aujourd'hui dans un état de ruine partielle.
Avant de partir
À quoi s'attendre
La mosquée Valide est un monument ottoman daté de 1615, aujourd'hui en état de ruine partielle, portant les marques des guerres balkaniques et de l'échange de populations des années 1920. Sa silhouette au cœur de Mytilène invite à une réflexion sur les multiples strates d'histoire qui ont façonné Lesbos.
Quand y aller
Le printemps et l'automne offrent les conditions les plus agréables pour ce site de plein air sans ombrage ; la chaleur estivale de midi peut rendre la visite éprouvante.
Comment s'y rendre
La mosquée se trouve à quelques minutes à pied du front de mer et du centre de Mytilène, facilement accessible depuis le port principal.

Unfortunately, it is in a dilapidated state. While they are pouring millions of dollars into mosques in places that are difficult to even find on a map, not a single nail has been hammered into this mosque, which is part of the Ottoman heritage, and it has been left in ruins for years.

Restoration work is underway. Fortunately, because for better or worse it belongs to the cultural heritage of the island and should enjoy the protection and promotion of the archaeological service. I, for example, have never visited a mosque and it would be a great opportunity to enter a mosque museum. Now for our Turkish friends who complain about the abandonment of Turkish monuments to go to their country and see what condition our churches are in and how much they respect their own cultural heritage.

Abandoned. Such a pity it's worth a restoration.

Is there any Turkish citizen who wouldn't be moved by this sight? "I reached its threshold and kissed it, Surrounded by thorns. I saw inscriptions on its great altar, Who knows from what blessed time they remain?... Hey Rıza! Bow your head in prostration and moan, Let the stones speak with your sorrow; Let me tell you a legend, weep and listen, That glorious past was apparently just a fairy tale..."

Unkempt and barely accessible. I was very disappointed at the state of this historical building!

Unfortunately totally ruined and not maintained at all. I imagine how beautiful it looked when it was built. I'm giving all the stars to it's original architecture.

The Valide Mosque of Mitilini is the oldest Ottoman mosque in Mytilene, Lesbos. It dates back to 1615 and is located in Epano Skala. It is a stone-built, single-storey house with a pitched roof. The monument has been designated as a preservable since 1981. In the middle of the front yard there was a multilateral fountain made of white marble and decorated with engraved arabesques.
