The mosque is thought to be built on top of the Venetian church of Saint Onuphrius . The remains of the turkish monastery that surrounded it are still evident. The mosque has some structurally unique features such as the main doorway, and its minaret is the oldest in Rethimnon (1789). At present the mosque is being renovated.
