Ukulhas (Alif Alif Atoll) - Sight Seeing 1 (Kudamiski'y)

Sight Seeing 1 (Kudamiski'y)

There are historical sites and monuments which are served as a popular tourist attraction of the island. One of the ideal sights which attracts is to be the “Kuda Miski’h” close to power house. The mosque (masjid) is known to be built at the time of Hukuru Miskiy (Old Friday Mosque) in Male’ dating from 1656. When you look at the mosque you could recognize that Coral-stone walls are intricately carved with patterns. Before the interior was superb and famed for its fine lacquer work and elaborate woodcarvings, but later on it was replaced by modern roofing sheets due to fungus occurrences. Now the mosque has been left for free due to insufficient space inside the premises for worship, which does not suite to allocate enough people in comparison with existing population of the island. But the monument itself indicates that the people used to live in the Island long time ago.
