Kampung Kling Mosque
The Kampung Kling Mosque is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Malaysia. It is named after the settlement where Indian traders stayed, Kampung Kling, and has a square plan, unlike most mosques in Western Asia, which have hexagonal or rectangular plans.
The minaret, which resembles a Chinese pagoda but is made of stones rather than timber, is the most spectacular structure on the site. The roof, as well as some of the walls and the floor, are completely covered in Chinese ceramic tiles.
The mosque has a triple-tiered pyramidal roof instead of a conical wall, and it is an artistically beautiful blend of styles and design elements from numerous cultures. Kampung Kling Mosque, one of Malaysia's most sought-after historical landmarks, is a wonderful location for everyone who respects different cultures and styles, and it is well worth a visit.
