Jami ul Alfar Mosque: Vibrant Red Mosque, Colombo's Architectural Gem of Srilanka
The red mosque painted in distinctive red and white stripes is the most beautiful landmark in the area. The mosque can be easily reached by both bus and tuk-tuk. Visitors regardless of gender and religion can visit the mosque during certain timings. Remember to dress modestly. The mosque is surrounded by the always crowded Pettah Market.
Still quite beautiful, although the open area is very small, after all, it can still go in, and there is no charge, much better than other reasons for money, very distinctive, very beautiful photos
wonderful place
1. The color style is quite psychedelic, mainly in red and white grids; 2. You can visit it no matter the day and evening, but only men can enter; 3. You must wear long pants and bare feet to enter; 4. It is very warm to foreign tourists, and the camera photography is unrestricted; 5. Free visit.
On the small streets with a very large flow of people, there are a lot of people coming and going here, but this youth is quite eye-catching, and its architecture is prominent. Men can enter casually, but pay attention to some Islamic teachings, and finally wash their hands, then wash their feet, and then go in, and stroll carefully. Women still take pictures at the door, forget it
