Singapore's best-known mosque, at the heart of Kampong Glam, first built in 1826 on the orders of Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor beside his palace and rebuilt in its present form between 1925 and 1932; it is now a national monument. The present mosque was designed by the Irish architect Denis Santry, with a great golden dome topped by crescents, slender minarets and white and yellow façades in an Indo-Islamic style, and holds thousands of worshippers. It looks down pedestrian Bussorah Street, lined with palms, cafés and restaurants serving halal food from many cuisines, and the area turns into a lively night bazaar during Ramadan. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times in modest dress, with robes lent at the entrance, and entry is free. Arab Street and Haji Lane are right next door.
