With their curved domes, tall minarets and intricate mosaics, mosques are often some of the most exquisite buildings in a destination. Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque is a peaceful house of worship that attracts many tourists.

This Muslim temple is often on the itineraries of travelers to Pettah. But Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque isn't the only drawcard here. Colombo City Centre, Galle Face Green, and Galle Face Beach are some other worthwhile sights close by.
