The Bayrakli Mosque (Greek: Μπαϊρακλί Τζαμί, from Turkish: Bayraklı Camii, "Mosque of the Standard-bearer") is a historical Ottoman-era mosque in the city of Larissa, Thessaly, Greece.
The mosque is situated in the centre of the city, at the junction of Papaflessa and Ossis streets.[1] Its masonry of brick-enclosed ashlar dates it to the 15th/16th centuries, contemporary to the bedesten market.[1] Only two walls of the interior hall survive, incorporated in a modern structure.[1]
The mosque reportedly derived its name from the fact that its imam used to hoist a flag (Turkish bayrak) to give the signal for the other mosques to begin the call to prayer for the faithful.[1]
