Rare & old Photos of Valapattanam Palli
Kakkulangara mosque, Valapattanam
This mosque has one of the oldest existing minarets in Kerala and has the graves of Abubakr ibn Muhammad, grandson of the first Caliph Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (573–634 CE) and his companions who settled in Valapattanam to propagate Islam.The ancient capital of the Mooshika-vansham or Kolathri Kings of Ezhimala, Valapattanam was an important trading town on the banks of the Valapattanam River. The old mosque Kakkulangara Palli was built with laterite that was excavated from nearby, creating the picturesque green pond beside it.
Another version is that Malik Dinar established this moque along with Madayi Mosque
I do not know more details : in question or not available completly. A different version from famous traveller Ibn Bathutha given below.
