Sultan Mosque Muscat Street and North Bridge Road within the Kampong Glamm district of Rochor Planning Area in Singapore.Its most distinct features are its prayer hall and domes.Somewhat across between the blue mosque and the Taj Mahal so to speak.
- In 1924, the year of the mosque's centenary,the erection of the new mosque was put in place.Within the walls of the current i did manage to see some odle pcis of a rather pyramid shaped mosque which depicted th older design.
- The newer and more Saracenic style mosque was completed after four years in 1928.It has remained relativel unchanged since then, with only repairs carried out to the main hall in the 1960s(i believe this was sometime after the second world war).
- A tour guide generously showed me a picture of the mosque and and a part that was damaged at that time.Amazingly only the wash area was damaged,amidst the
heaving bombings during that time.
