Malindi Mosque, Mosque in Stone Town, Zanzibar Islands, Tanzania.
The Malindi Mosque stands near the port with a square platform base and contains multiple prayer halls for religious gatherings.
Muhammad ben Abdulkadir al-Mansaby, a merchant from Somalia, constructed the current mosque structure between 1834 and 1835 on possibly older foundations.
The mosque maintains its role as a central religious institution where local Muslims gather five times daily for prayers following Islamic traditions.
Visitors need to remove shoes before entering, wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees, and women must cover their heads.
The mosque features one of only three cone-shaped minarets found in East Africa, marking its architectural distinction in the region.
