These are the masjids we took breaks for prayers during our outing times for shopping or sight seeing on Sundays.
Sultan Sulaiman Royal Mosque is Selangor's royal mosque, which is located in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia. It was constructed by the British in the early 1930s and was officially opened in 1932 by the late Almarhum Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah of Selangor and the British's Federated Malay States High Commissioner Sir Lawrence Nuuns Guillemard.The mosque's architecture is a combination of Western Art Deco and Neoclassical styles.
After his return to Kuala Kangsar, he commanded Colonel Huxley of the Public Works Department, Kuala Lumpur, to design a mosque which he wanted to build. Architect Hubbert designed the mosque by adopting Moorish architecture in his design. Mr. Caulfield, the State Engineer then, was responsible for the construction. The unique Moorish design by Mr. Hubbert has made Ubudiah Mosque one of the building which attract tourists for its interesting architectural features
The mosques are awesome. It is very interesting to learn that they are mostly designed by English architects and also commissioned by the British.
ReplyDeleteI had never seen the one in Klang, I don't think so, but the architecture is uncommon for a mosque but still very outstanding.
Also the king's name is very very long.
love your city
