Visit Malacca... Tranquerah Mosque

2008.06.27
Brief history...

Main gate

A minaret

Hall


Side entrance


Front entrance


Prominent in its Sumatran architectural grandeur, the mosque, one of the oldest mosques in the country is unique and bears testimony to the fact that Islam had its rightful place in Melaka almost 600 years ago. Instead of a conventional dome, a three tier roof rising like a pyramid is in place.

A minaret peculiar in shape from a typical moorish style, is structured like a Pagoda portraying the mixture of East-West architectural influence.
