St. Nicholas Church, Kavala

The Church of Saint Nicholas (Ιερός Ναός Αγίου Νικολάου) of Kavala is a Greek Orthodox Church in the town of Kavala, in Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Greece. It was built during Ottoman period as Ibrahim Pasha Mosque (İbrahim Paşa Camii) before it was converted into a church in modern times.

History
The building was erected in 1530 during the Ottoman rule of Macedonia as an Islamic mosque, perhaps on the site of a pre-existing Christian church, by Ibrahim Pasha, vizier to Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, and it was the largest mosque in Kavala.

In the 1920s the mosque was converted into a church for Christian worship, dedicated to Saint Nicholas; the bell-tower was built upon the base of the destroyed minaret. On the eastern side of the church there is a mural depicting the arrival of Apostle Paul in the port.
