    Malé

    Capital of the Maldives
    malecity.gov.mv/en

    Malé is the capital and most populous city of the Maldives. With a population of 211,908 in 2022 within its administrative area and coterminous geographical area of 8.30 square kilometres, Malé is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The city is geographically located in the southern edge of North Malé Atoll. Administratively, the city consists of a central island, an airport island, and five other islands presided over by the Malé City Council. Traditionally it was the King's Island, from where the ancient royal dynasties ruled and where the palace was located. The city was then called Mahal. Formerly it was a walled city surrounded by fortifications and gates. The Royal Palace was destroyed along with the picturesque forts and bastions when the city was remodelled under President Ibrahim Nasir's rule in the aftermath of the abolition of the monarchy in 1968. However, some buildings remained, namely, the Malé Friday Mosque. Wikipedia
