The Hamza Bey Mosque (Greek: Αλκαζάρ Θεσσαλονίκης, Turkish: Hamza Bey Camii) is a former mosque in Thessaloniki, in the Central Macedonia region of Greece. Built in 1460, during the Ottoman era, the mosque was abandoned in the 1820s. Modern Thessalonians commonly know it as Alkazar, after a cinema that operated in the premises for decades.
