Sultan Mosque

Sultan Mosque, also known as Masjid Sultan, is a prominent mosque located in the Kampong Glam precinct of Rochor, Singapore. Originally built in 1824-1826 for Sultan Hussein Shah and rebuilt between 1924 and 1928, it is designated as a National Monument. Notable for its massive golden domes and Indo-Saracenic architecture, it serves as a focal point for Singapore's Muslim community and a major cultural landmark near Arab Street and Bussorah Street.

Visitors can expect a large mosque with two prominent golden domes, a spacious prayer hall, and a courtyard set at the end of Bussorah Street in Kampong Glam. The exterior features Indo-Saracenic and Moorish architectural details, arches and minarets. Non-Muslim visitors can view the exterior and, outside prayer times, enter designated visitor areas. The surrounding area has shophouses, textile and perfume shops, cafes and street art along Haji Lane and Arab Street.

Commissioned by Sultan Hussein Shah, the first Sultan of Singapore, and built between 1824 and 1826 with support from the British East India Company. The original structure was rebuilt between 1924 and 1928 to designs by Denis Santry of Swan and Maclaren in Indo-Saracenic style. It was gazetted as a National Monument on 8 March 1975 and has undergone several restorations to preserve its architectural heritage.

Serves as a major religious and community centre for Singapore's Muslim community and a landmark of the historic Kampong Glam area. It reflects Malay, Arab and Islamic cultural heritage and is a focal point for religious observances and community gatherings, while also being a key visitor attraction illustrating Singapore's multicultural heritage.
