Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious building The Elassona Mosque (Шаблон:Lang-el) or Muharrem Pasha Mosque, is an Ottoman mosque at Elassona, Thessaly, Greece, dating to the 17th/18th century.[1]

A simple and austere structure, the mosque comprises a single, square prayer hall. It is covered by a dome resting on an octagonal dome supported by pendentives.[1] The walls are of rough masonry with irregular brick bands.[1] The prayer hall is illuminated by 16 windows, arranged in two rows. The windows are framed by plaster frames on the interior.[1] The mihrab is decorated with plain muqarnas.[1] A wooden gallery once existed above the entrance, and a wooden porch stood before the gateway.[1] The founder's inscription above the entrance has been erased.[1] A minaret stood on the northwestern corner,[1] but collapsed in 1961.

Work has been carried out to improve structural stability, but the building is not open to the public.[1] For some time, the building was used to store parts of the Elassona archaeological collection.[1]
