The Center organized a lecture entitled “Islamic Architecture in Greece”, delivered by Dr. Ahmed Amin, on 1 Apr 2018, at Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Conference Center, Multipurpose Hall, in the framework of the Alexandria International Book Fair 2018.

The book records the heritage of Islamic architecture in Greece, most of which dates back to the Ottoman Period. The reign of the Ottoman Empire lasted for approximately three centuries in a number of regions in Greece and lasted for five centuries in some other areas in northern Greece.

The book also includes an analytical study of archaeological sites, raw materials, and the foundations of architectural design in terms of architectural and ornamental elements. The book “Islamic Architecture in Greece: Mosques” is part of a series of studies on Islamic civilization that focus on the heritage of Islamic civilization all the way from China in the East to Andalusia in the West.
