Londar, Sultan II. Bayezid Câmii Minâresi

The town of Londar (Leontari) is located 40 km southeast of Tripoli in the Peloponnese. Evliyâ Çelebi briefly mentioned the town by saying that "there is a Sultan Bayezid-i Velî Mosque, which was converted from a church, and it has a madrasah, a dervish lodge, a school, an inn, eight shops and a small bathhouse, and there are no other buildings." After the town, which was the center of the Peloponnesian despotism, came under Ottoman rule for the second time, the Church of the Holy Apostles here was converted into a mosque in the name of Sultan Bayezid II, as in the Coron Castle, and a minaret was built in the northeast corner of the work. After the Peloponnesian revolt in 1828, the minaret of the building, which was converted back into a church, was demolished down to its base and a simple four-legged bell tower was built on it. Two engravings dated 1870 and 1875 show this bell tower. The bell tower, which was renewed several times in the following years, was removed during the repair in 2008.
