Background
History
The Riyadha Mosque, which was built in 1892 C.E., is one of Lamu's most well-known mosques. Habib Swaleh constructed a temporary wooden structure in 1889 CE with the aid of his friends, which served as a location for both teaching and prayer. The center did not begin as a mosque. The Center quickly attained widespread renown, and plans were made to transform it into a grand mosque with a madrasah situated next to it.
