Moroni Mosque, Primary mosque in Badjanani district, Moroni, Comoros.
The white stone structure of Moroni Mosque features traditional arabo-african architectural elements and a tall minaret visible throughout the city.
Construction of the mosque began in the early 19th century, with photographs from 1899 by French Resident Pobeguin showing no trace of the building.
The mosque functions as the central gathering point for weekly Friday prayers and annual Eid celebrations, drawing Muslims from across Moroni.
Visitors must wear appropriate religious attire when entering the mosque, which remains open throughout the day for prayer and meditation.
A new mosque under construction nearby demonstrates the growing Muslim population, while this historic structure maintains its original function.
