Places of Worship


Sultan Mosque
This is a photo of  Masjid Sultan (Malay for Sultan Mosque), which is found on Muscat Street. It is one of the most important mosques in Singapore and was first built in 1826. Its rebuilding was complete in 1928 and holds a precious carpet that was donated by a prince of Saudi Arabia back then. The mosque forms a major part of the identity of Kampong Glam as it has been around for a long time, and holds many memories and much meaning for Muslims in Singapore. It is rich in culture, attributing to its age and also due to the unique carpet that was given by a Saudi Arabia prince, which is still in the mosque.
