Geometry in Veli Pasha Mosque, Crete
https://orcid.org/http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7406-6630
Veli Pasha Mosque, located outside the walls of Réthymnon, Crete, Greece, was built around 1651 as the focal point of a Kadiri dervish convent, almost immediately after the capture of the town in 1646 by the Ottomans. It was practically and symbolically inscribed in a network of mosques and pious foundations that functioned as prime signifiers of the urban Ottomanization of the town. The survey and analysis of the building, which belongs to the multi-cell type, detected the use of a 22 × 24 grid, with a 1 × 1 ell module. It is highly possible that the 734 mm value of the Ottoman ell was employed in the design of the mosque, which despite its modest scale retains a remarkable structural, typological, proportional and decorative clarity.
