Malé Hukuru Miskiy, Mosque in Malé, Maldives
The Malé Hukuru Miskiy mosque features coral block walls, three entrances, and two prayer halls with decorative ceilings displaying Maldivian lacquer work patterns.
Built in 1658 during Ibrahim Iskandar I's reign, this mosque replaced an earlier structure from 1153 established by Mohamed Bin Abdullah, the first Muslim Sultan.
The interior incorporates traditional Maldivian craftsmanship through detailed woodcarvings, coral stone columns, and intricate lacquerwork designs representing regional artistic methods.
Visitors need permission from the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs to enter the mosque, and they must wear clothing that covers arms and legs.
The adjacent cemetery contains coral tombstones with rounded tops marking female graves and pointed tops indicating male graves, while gilded inscriptions denote royal burials.
