Message from Lara and Aldin

The Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque in Colombo is a must-see for its stunning candy-like red and white striped façade, making it one of the most iconic buildings in the city. Located in the historic Pettah district, this mosque, built in 1908, stands out with its towering minarets and intricate patterns. Inside, you'll find a beautiful space adorned with calligraphy, geometric designs, and ornate chandeliers. Visitors can explore, but remember to dress modestly as a sign of respect. While in the area, don't miss nearby attractions like the bustling Pettah Market and the Dutch Museum for a full cultural experience!
