The Malé Friday Mosque, locally known as ‘Hukuru Miskiy’ is one of the oldest and most beautiful mosques in the country. Hukuru Miskiy dates back to 1658 and has been added to the UNESCO World Heritage cultural list as a unique example of architecture.
The heritage site consists of the mosque surrounded by a 17th-century cemetery, a garden and a minaret which was completed in 1674 CE.
The mosque was built during the reign of Ibrahim Iskandar I. It took 2 years to construct the mosque. In terms of artistic excellence and construction technique using only interlocking coral stone assembly and lacquered woodwork, it is one of the finest coral stone buildings of the world.
It has been in continuous use since it was built. The mosque was reportedly built over an ancient temple which predated Islam.
