[Sri Lanka] Like a fairy tale! The colorful Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque 🕌🎨

Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, is a beautiful mosque that seems to have come out of a fairy tale✨🕌 It features a distinctive red and white striped pattern, and the intricately designed tile decorations and minarets make it a particularly eye-catching sight in the city🏙️🎨 Built in 1909, this mosque has a unique design that combines Indo-Islamic architecture with Gothic style💡✨ Not only is the exterior beautiful, but the interior is also beautiful, with the light shining through the geometric tiles and stained glass creating a fantastic atmosphere🌟🌿 The area around the mosque is in the bustling Pettah district, a lively area lined with local markets and food stalls🛍️🍛 It's also recommended to visit while enjoying a walk through the exotic city 🚶♂️✨ Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque, filled with Sri Lankan history and culture, was a photogenic spot that you should definitely visit when sightseeing in Colombo 📸 We also had risotto nearby 🤤✨✨ #SriLanka #tripoverseastravel
