Mosquée Salimata Hamissi

The Mosquée Salimata Hamissi, situated on Grande Comore, stands as an important historic place of worship showcasing traditional Comorian Islamic architecture. Named in honor of its founding patron, the complex features characteristic whitewashed coral-stone walls, elevated staircases, and a tall slender minaret overlooking the surrounding community. Issued by the postal administration of the Comoros Archipelago (Archipel des Comores), this 35-franc postage stamp (POSTES) illustrates the pristine white façade and minaret of the mosque set against lush tropical trees and a clear blue sky, highlighting the rich religious monuments of the island.
