Restored during 2008, until early 20th century it used to be a Muslim mosque named after Halil Bey probably the owner or founder of the mosque. It is now restored and transformed to a museum-like building, during restoration works ruins and parts of an Orthodox Christian church were found beneath its foundations, a common phenomenon for the old town of Kavala where many different civilizations lived in different times in the same small, wall-restricted area of Kavala's castle town.

There is a glass floor so people can see the church underneath.The greek name of the building is "Palia Mousiki" meaning Old Music.
