The Maldivian capital Male’s splendid Grand Friday Mosque should be on the itinerary of every visitor to the islands. The largest mosque in the islands, the Grand Friday Mosque was constructed in 1656 by order of Sultan Ibrahim Iskandhar. The mosque is particularly noted for its sensational architecture and artwork. The handsome edifice, imposing golden dome, lovely coral engravings, unique minarets and the tombs of royalty and national heroes never fail to draw the attention of the visitor.
