Description
We are in Eleftherias Square in Kos and specifically in the Defterdar Mosque (1780) which was named after the Financial Minister of the Ottoman Empire Ibrahim Efendi.
We watch the facade of the mosque with the minaret, from where until the 1980s the muezzin called to prayer, the dome that is supported by 12 arches and the octagonal marble fountain, covered by a dome supported by 6 arches, resting on an equal number of small pillars.
Outside the mosque, an old man, who wears the traditional wide pants, threatens the cyclists with his cane, another one with a yellow turban watches the passers-by as he follows the hodja who enters the mosque.
On the staircase that leads to the minaret with the narrow door, small children play as the faithful people and visitors go down its stairs. A lady in a red turban leaves the mosque and gets on her bicycle while the hodja locks the mosque and leaves.
The film closes with footage of a house in the garden of which a local, who wears a traditional costume (wide pants, white shirt, long black socks), approaches a tied donkey.
In July 2017, a 6.6 of Richter's magnitude scale earthquake caused extensive damage to the mosque and the fountain.
