With its golden dome on top is the Grand Mosque of Colombo, also known as the Grand Mosque of Colombo
As much as this mosque is attractive to look at, its history is also wonderful
In the year 1520, King Bhavanika Bahu of Kote burnt the Portuguese trading posts and also set fire to mosques in the city of Colombo.
After that, the mosque was redesigned and built by Muhammad Balnik Gaya, the son of an Indonesian nobleman who was later exiled.
In 1790, the mosque was made two-storied by a Dutch architect.
At that time, this Jama Masjid was one of the few two-storied buildings in Ceylon, Sri Lanka.
In the year 1827, during the British rule, the Chief Justice of Ceylon, Alexander Johnston, discovered a tomb near the mosque.
The year 948 AD was also written on the inscription along with Arabic words
This shows that this mosque is 1100 years old and possibly the oldest mosque in Sri Lanka
This mosque also houses the mausoleum of the Malay saint Tuan Bagos Balinkaya.
Finally, I would like to tell you that history will not only remember the victors of the wars, but also Muhammad Balanik Gayako, who went into exile to build a mosque.
