About

The Great Mosque of Kilwa is a former Friday mosque in a partial ruinous state, located on the island of Kilwa Kisiwani, in Kilwa Masoko in Kilwa District in Lindi Region of Tanzania. It was likely founded in the tenth century, but the two major stages of construction date to the eleventh or twelfth and thirteenth century, respectively. It is one of the earliest partially surviving mosques on the Swahili coast and is one of the first mosques built without a sahn.
