During the Ottoman period, the Muslim population in the villages of Nasliç (Neapoli), which was an accident in the Serfiçe (Servia) sanjak of the Manastır (Bitola) province of Bitola, was sent to Anatolia after the population exchange, and the Orthodox from Anatolia were settled in these villages. Among the villages of Nasliç, the mosque in Ginoush (Molocha) village, Bâli Çavuş mosque in Pilazomi (Stavrodmi) village, and mosques in Mazgan (Archladia), Mesalogoş (Mesaloggos), and Piluri (Pylorio) villages and Sultanzâde Abdüllatif Bey mosque in Rezne (Dicheimarro) village were converted into churches by the new inhabitants of the villages after the population exchange. The church in the cemetery (Ginoush) was built on an old tomb and it is noteworthy that the existing graves here are in the direction of the burial of Muslim graves. This shows that the tradition from the Ottoman period was continued unwittingly in the postOttoman period. We have not been able to determine the names of this mosque and tomb.
