Meczet Meeran Jumma – Galle

Opis

Meeran Jumma Mosque is viewing the well-renowned Galle Lighthouse. Unlike other famous mosques, Meeran Jumma Mosque features a more diverse structural design that amalgamates British Victorian and Islamic designs. Similar to a cathedral, the Mosque has stained glass windows and an immaculate atrium. Moreover, it highlights an ornately decorated mihrab at the centre of the structure. The Mosque’s floor is also decorated with vibrantly painted ceramic tiles, and it features little decorative roofs.
Being a famous building located within the Galle Fort, it is assumed to have been established over 300 years ago. Galle is home to a sizeable Muslim population, so the site serves as an important place of worship in this region. Moreover, due to its architectural brilliance, it is also a famous tourist attraction. Unlike other mosques throughout the country, which has strict restrictions, Meeran Jumma Mosque welcomes visitors as long as they are dressed reasonably and are willing to abide by the rules of the Mosque. As you access the Mosque, you will surely be mesmerized by the interiors; different regions of the Mosque feature differently coloured tiles and separate prayer areas for women and men.
