Detail InformationEdit

The Jezzar Pasha Mosque, also known as the white mosque, is located on al-Jezzar Street inside the walls of the old City of Acre, overlooking the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and is named after the Bosnian Ottoman governor Ahmed al-Jezzar (the butcher) Pasha.
The mosque was the project of Acre’s Ottoman governor in the late 18th century, Ahmed al-Jezzar (the butcher) Pasha, who was equally famous for his cruelty, impressive public works and for defeating Napoleon at the siege of Acre in 1799. Jezzar Pasha ordered the mosque’s construction in 1781 and had it completed within the year; it was built over former Muslim and Christian prayer houses and other Crusader buildings. There is a tughra or monogram on a marble disc inside the gate, naming the ruling Sultan, his father and the legend “ever-victorious”.
