Koagannu Heritage

For roughly 900 years Meedhoo's coral-stone artisans carved tombstones at Koagannu. Today it is the oldest and largest cemetery in the Maldives, with around 1,500 graves, the country's tallest tombstone, and the Fandiyaaru Miskiy. Listed on the 2022 World Monuments Watch and the UNESCO Coral Stone Mosques Tentative List, it is a place to walk slowly and read the island's memory in stone. Our 360° virtual walk lets you explore it from anywhere, and helps preserve an endangered site.
