Sultan Mosque AD 1824

A Glimpse into the Muslim Faith

Built in 1824 by Sultan Hussein Shah, the first Sultan of Singapore, the mosque is a vibrant symbol of the Muslim faith, and a focal point of Singapore's Malay community.

The mosque's distinctive golden domes are adorned with glass bottle ends at the base of the structure, which were collected and donated by the lower-income as their contributions to the mosque’s construction. Winner of the prestigious Architectural Award in 2016, the mosque's golden dome is so iconic, towering over nearby shophouses.
