About Male:-

Male, capital and most populous city in the Republic of Maldives. It is also one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The city is geographically located at the southern edge of North Male Atoll (Kaafu Atoll). Administratively, the city consists of a central island, an airport island, and two other islands governed by the Male 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 (koshi) and bastions (buruzu) when the city was remodelled under President Ibrahim Nasir's rule in the aftermath of the abolition of the monarchy in 1968. However, the Male Friday Mosque remains.
