Colombo Grand Mosque, Islamic place of worship in central Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The two-story mosque features white walls, geometric patterns, and multiple minarets rising above the main prayer hall.
Scholar Khalid Ibn Baqaya established the mosque in 797 CE as an envoy of Khalifa Al Rasheed during the Abbasid regime.
The mosque maintains close connections with the Hameedia Boys English School, which provides education to the Muslim community since 1900.
The mosque accommodates daily prayer services and remains open to visitors outside of prayer times with appropriate dress code requirements.
A cannon installed in 1898 continues its traditional function of announcing prayer times and Eid festivals under the care of the mosque's Imam.
