The Tzistarakis Mosque is in Monastiraki Square and was built in 1759 by the Turkish voivod Tzistiraki. Tzistarakis used materials from old buildings, while the legend has it that he did not hesitate to demolish the 17the from the columns of the Temple of Olympian Zeus for this purpose. This was considered a bad omen, for both Greeks and Turks, and later, when a plague broke, people's outrage erupted and Tzistarakis was deposed.

After the Greek Revolution the building ceased to be used as a mosque. Today, it is a part of the Greek Folk Art Museum and houses an excellent collection of ceramics.
