Maldives - King Salman mosque. The largest mosque in the Maldives. It can accommodate 6000 worshippers.
Located on Boduthakurufaanu Magu, the sea-fronting site is bordered by an artificial beach. Formerly a public ground area, the site majestically sits across the recently constructed Sinamalé Bridge, thus makes it easily accessible to other parts of the country.
The six-storeyed mosque building is flanked by five minarets, representing the five pillars of Islam.The building lacks a traditional dome. Instead, the dome-like structure is designed to resemble a Bedouin desert tent.
The mosque would also have a library, an auditorium, classrooms, and a multi-purpose hall.
