Red mosque / Pettah

Hidden in the busy Pettah Market on the narrow 2nd cross street lies a colorful mosque generally called Rathu Paliya in Sinhalese or Red Mosque ( or Red Masjid) in Engish and Samman Kottu Palli (“Mosque for Muslims of Indian origin”). The mosque was built in 1909 by the Pettah Muslim community to fulfill the religious needs of the Muslims.


The designer and builder was H L Saibo Lebbe and the two-storeyed mosque, incorporating a clock tower, was commenced in 1908 and completed the following year. Lebbe was influenced by the Indo-Saracenic architectural style, which was devised by British architects in the late 19th Century India. Essentially it’s a hybrid style that draws elements from native Indo-Islamic and Indian architecture, and combines it with the Gothic revival and Neo-Classical styles favoured in Victorian Britain (witness the Houses of Parliament).

The uniqueness of the Red Mosque is the design where every brick is colored in either black or white creating striped, checkered jagged, and spiral designs. This designs along with the colors gives this building a unique flavor among the other other non descriptive commercial buildings.
