The Chios Byzantine Museum is a museum in Chios, Greece, housed in an Ottoman-era mosque that was known as the Mecidiye Mosque.
History
The mosque was called Mecidiye Mosque and was built in the 19th century by sultan Abdul Mecid I. During the years 2006 to 2010 the museum underwent repair work, so it remained closed. The museum houses Christian and Byzantine sculptures in its yard, as well as exhibits from the Genoese and Ottoman periods of Chios' history.[1]
