1 Best Sight in Rhodes and the Dodecanese, Greece

Turkish Library

Also known as the Muslim Library, or Hafiz Ahmed Agha Library, this institution holds a rare collection of Turkish, Persian, and Arab manuscripts, including many rare Korans. Founded in 1793, this remains a striking reminder of the Ottoman presence. The collection and the adjacent Mosque of Süleyman are still used by those members of Rhodes's Turkish community who stayed here after the 1923 population exchange, a mass repatriation of Greek and Turkish migrants.
