Meeran Jumma Mosque, Islamic prayer edifice in Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
The white two-story mosque features stained glass windows, decorated mihrab, and ceramic tile flooring within its Victorian and Islamic architectural structure.
The current building, commissioned in 1904 by merchant Ahamed Haji Ismail, stands on a site where Islamic prayer spaces existed since the 1750s.
The mosque serves as a central gathering point for Galle Fort's Muslim community, hosting daily prayers and religious education for local residents.
Located at 90 Leyn Baan Street near Galle Lighthouse, the mosque allows visitors to enter provided they follow modest dress requirements.
The structure incorporates British Victorian architectural elements alongside traditional Islamic designs, including small decorative domes and colored ceramic patterns.
