The Imaret of Komotini is an imaret complex in the town of Komotini, in the Western Thrace region of northern Greece, and is thought to be one of the oldest surviving Ottoman monuments in Europe. It is dated between the early 1360s and the end of the fourteenth century. It was built by Ottoman conqueror Gazi Ahmed Evrenos near the eastern walls of the Byzantine Koumoutzedes Castle. Ever since 1999 the building has functioned as the Ecclesiastical Museum of the Metropolis of Maroneia and Komotini. It is possible that it was built on the site of a previous Byzantine church dedicated to the Holy Wisdom of God.
