Mosque of the Judge (Fandiyaaru Miskiy) Addu Meedhoo: Situated within the perimeter of the Koagannu Cemetery, this mosque was built by the Chief Justice Mohamed Shamsuddine after being exiled from Malé to his native Meedhoo with his three sons, in the reign of Uteem Sultan Shuja'i Mohamed Imaduddine I, circa 1660. The chief justice's only crime was omitting a single phrase in praising the Uteem sultan in his Friday sermon. Chief Justice Mohamed Shamsuddine and his children personally undertook the construction of this mosque.
