This is Masjid Jamek (Jamek Mosque). It was opened in 1909. That means it is 100 years old this year!! It served as the first national mosque until 1965 when the existing National Mosque was completed. The Moorish architecture of this mosque was designed by a British architect named Arthur Benison Hubback. It sits on the confluence of River Gombak and Klang.
Although it sits in the middle of the city, the mosque has a very calming effect on its visitors. I love my visit there!

Amazing architecture! Beautiful photo!
Are visitors allowed inside? I bet it is beautiful in there.
It must be a haven inside the city. Looks so clean and tranquil.
Hi Ai Shiang,
Visitors are welcomed to visit Masjid Jamek. Visitors will be provided with robes to cover your legs if you are wearing shorts. And females are provided with scarves to cover your heads.
