Architecturally notable medieval mosque
Mishkal Mosque is a medieval mosque located in Calicut on Malabar Coast, southern India. The mosque, one of the few surviving medieval mosques in Kerala, is regarded as an important cultural, historical and architectural monument of Kerala. The mosque was built by the eponymous Muslim merchant-shipowner in the 14th century. Mishkal - active in Calicut in the 1340s - possessed "great wealth" and a fleet of ships for "the trade with India, China, Yemen, and Persia". Ship-owners known as the nakhudas were among the wealthiest merchants of medieval Indian Ocean world. Mishkal Mosque is located in Kuttichira neighbourhood, a part of Thekkepuram beach in Calicut. In 1510, the mosque was partially burned in a Portuguese attack on Calicut. The top floors of the mosque still display some of that damage. Mishkal Mosque originally had five stories. It was rebuilt in 1578/79 after the 1510 arson and now has four stories. Typical for similar medieval mosques in Kerala, it has no cupolas and minarets and heavily employs timber. A large tank known as the Kuttichira tank is attached to the mosque. Wikipedia
