The Fakhr al-Din Mosque (Template:Langx),[1][2] is a historic mosque in Mogadishu, Somalia. It is located in the Hamar Weyne District, one of the oldest parts of the city.[3]
Description
The construction of the mosque is dated by an inscription to 1269 CE.[1][4] The structure displays a compact rectangular plan, with a domed mihrab axis. The mihrab is made of marble from northern India and bears a dated inscription.[5]
Historic photographs of the mosque feature in drawings and images of central Mogadishu from the late 19th century onwards. The mosque can be identified amidst other buildings by its two cones, one round and the other hexagonal.
