Fethiye Mosque

Fethiye Mosque is a building that was converted from an old church into a mosque and is located in Yeni Mahalle, in the center of Kars city. Originally, the church was known as the Church of Alexander Nevsky, or as the Cossack Church. Built in the late 19th century, it is one of the oldest buildings in the area and remained empty after the events of the Armenian Genocide in 1915. After the Turkish-Armenian War in 1921, the building was used by state institutions for some time before being converted into Fethiye Mosque.
