A 200-year-old coral stone mosque dismantled by the previous administration will be reassembled at the Sultan Park in Malé, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih decided Tuesday as recommended by the cabinet.
The decision was reached following a working session led by experts from the heritage ministry and “in-depth deliberations” on the relocation of Kalhuvakaru Mosque, according to the president’s office.
The expert team briefed the cabinet on public and professional opinions gathered by the ministry. A forum was organised last week to seek public opinion on the ideal location to reassemble the historic mosque.
An ice skating rink now stands at the mosque’s old site on a corner of Sultan Park.
