This building actually began life as a monastery but was turned into a mosque by the Turks who added the domes and a minaret, of which only bits remain. It is named after the Ottoman admiral instrumental in the capture of Rethymno. It is not open to the public.

The Kara Musa Pasha Mosque was named by the Turkish commander of the occupation of Rethymno naval operations and is the site of the Venetian monastery of St. Barbara. One of the most characteristic features is the covered dome fountain that served both ceremonial purposes and the water needs of the region.
