The Venetian building was originally the Monastery of St Barbara. The impressive Renaissance facade with ornate doorways and balconies dates from this stage. The Turks converted it into a mosque, adding domes and a minaret. Kara Musa Pasha was Grand Admiral of the Ottoman Navy during the capture of Rethymnon.
Today the building is closed to the public
Today it is the house of the Restoration Board.
