Sunday 17th February 2013 +4hrs GMT ­ Malé, Maldives ­ The Old Friday Mosque

We moved on to the Old Friday Mosque (Hukuru Miskiiy) built in 1656 by Sultan Ibrahim Iskandhar.  This intricate building is a masterpiece of coral stone carving.  Coral stone is extremely hard but each stone fits into its place with perfection and without any cement of any kind.
