Kechimalai Mosque

on  with No comments 

Perched by the beach, in Beruwela, Sri Lanka is one of Sri Lanka's historical treasures. The Kechimalai mosque straddles the beach, just off the Galle Road, and stands today as one of the oldest mosques standing today.

The mosque was built by a people led by a Yemeni prince who arrived in the island around the 12th century. It marks the seed of their settlement which has since then prospered. The mosque is not as elaborate as it's location. The building it self is humble masonry construction.
