Lonely Planet review

This prominent mosque, situated on the Constanza Bastion, marks the spot where the Venetian Walls were breached by the Ottomans in 1570. The bayraktar (standard bearer) was killed by the Ottomans and his body was subsequently recovered and buried here. The small mosque was the target of terrorist activity, in the 1960s, that damaged it and the nearby tomb.
