Sultan Mosque (Masjid Sultan)

Sultan Mosque, also known as Masjid Sultan, is Singapore's most prominent mosque and a national monument that has served the Muslim community since 1824. The original mosque was built with funding from the East India Company and Sultan Hussein Shah, but the current structure was rebuilt in 1928 in the Indo-Saracenic architectural style. The mosque features a distinctive golden dome and four minarets, creating an impressive silhouette that has become synonymous with Singapore's Kampong Glam district.

The mosque serves as the focal point of Singapore's Muslim community and stands as a testament to the country's religious diversity and tolerance. The prayer hall can accommodate up to 5,000 worshippers, making it one of the largest mosques in Singapore. The building's architecture reflects the cultural fusion that characterizes Singapore, combining Islamic, Persian, and Moorish design elements. The mosque has undergone several renovations to preserve its structural integrity while maintaining its historical significance, and it continues to play a vital role in the religious and cultural life of Singapore's Muslim population.
