Hukuru Miskiiy

Popularly referred to as the Old Friday Mosque, the Hukuru Miskiiy is the oldest mosque in Maldives, dating all the way back to 1656. Look past the protective corrugated-iron sheet covering the roof and some of the walls, and you’ll find a stunning structure constructed from coral stone, featuring intricate work and carvings. Within, the interiors boast beautiful lacquer work and elaborate woodcarvings, including a long panel from the 13th century commemorating the introduction of Islam to the Maldives.
