Description
The Aga mosque is a historical Ottoman mosque in the town of Nafplio, Peloponnese, in southern Greece. It was built in 1730, during the second period of Ottoman rule in the town, and it briefly functioned as the first parliament building of the Provisional Administration of Greece, hence its common name. Today, no longer open to worship, it houses cultural events. The walls of Fort Palamedes from the same period can be seen in the background.
