Overview

The Old Friday Mosque, or Hukuru Miskiy, is the oldest mosque in the Maldives, dating to 1658. Constructed entirely from hand-carved coral stone, its walls bear exquisite Quranic calligraphy and lacquerwork, while the adjacent minaret and historic cemetery add to its serene, timeless atmosphere.
