MEERAN JUMMA MASJID
This beautiful white mosque, also known as the Galle Fort Mosque, faces the ocean and is a stone's throw from the lighthouse. The building was originally a Portuguese church, built on the site of a mosque dating from 1750, and only became a mosque in 1904. The numbers painted on the wall of the façade indicate the year 1325 Hijri (corresponding to the year 1907 in the Gregorian calendar), which supports the thesis that a prayer space existed here before the 20th century. Next to it is the Galle Muslim Cultural Association, which has been located here since 1965.
