The Old Friday mosque is the oldest mosque of Moroni. It is also called the Badjanani Mosque.

 

I find that the mosque was constructed in 1427/831 AH and the minaret added in 921/1339 AH. (source: www.archnet.org/sites/15056)

(hmmmm..... I have my doubts about that. )

 

There are several shipwrecks in this harbour.

In the background the volcano Karthala.
