Casa Verona's Mosque is a mosque in the George Town neighbourhood of Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. It is one of the oldest mosques in the city and was constructed by Casa Verona, a dubash of the British East India Company.
History Casa Verona, or Kasi Viranna, was a Hindu merchant from Madras who traded with the Sultanate of Golconda. He was so close to the Sultans of Golconda that they even gave him a Muslim name, Hasan Khan. The mosque was built in the land which belonged to him a little before his death in 1680 CE.
