Muhammadi Mosque (State Mosque)

The Muhammadi Mosque is the State Mosque of Kelantan located in central Kota Bharu. Originally built in 1867 by Sultan Muhammad II as a wooden structure, it was rebuilt in brick in 1922-1927 and later expanded. Notable for its colonial-Moorish architecture with colonnades, domes and a minaret, it serves as the principal mosque for state religious functions and can accommodate several thousand worshippers.

Visitors can expect a large, active state mosque in the heart of Kota Bharu near the Kelantan River. The exterior features white colonnaded verandas, arches, domes and a prominent minaret. Inside is a spacious carpeted prayer hall with columns and chandeliers. The compound is open and landscaped. Non-Muslim visitors can view the exterior and surroundings outside prayer times and appreciate the architecture and central city setting.
