Kedeyre Miskiyy (GNI-MAD-2-S1)

Ali Adafikaleyge built this mosque after Fuvahmulah was inhabited for the second time (Moosa, 2015). By looking at the dates given for the second colonization of the atoll we can give a tentative date for this Mosque as circa. 1555 C.E. The name of the mosque comes from the place where Ali Adafikaleyge settled, Kedeyre (Moosa, 2015). This mosque was probably built around the same period as Koagannu Miskiyy in Hulhumeedhoo (Seenu Atoll) circa 1397 (Jameel & Ahmad: 2016, p.97). The mosque compound has a well, a cemetery with tombs and a bathing tank. The mosque building has a simple prayer hall with an open veranda at the entrance. There are no decorations or carvings and the mosque is constructed from veligaa block and timber (Jameel & Ahmad: 2016, p.97).
