Sultan Mosque in Singapore Asia it has a beautiful gold dome roof

---

The mosque was built in 1824 for Sultan Hussein Shah, the first sultan of Singapore. Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of Singapore, gave $3,000 to the construction of a single-storey building with a double-tiered roof. A hundred years later, the old mosque was in desperate need of repair. The present mosque as you see it today was designed by Denis Santry from Swan and Maclaren, Singapore’s oldest architectural firm, and rebuilt in 1932. A little-known fact is that during this reconstruction, North Bridge Road was actually forced to bend around the mosque as it was extended beyond Arab Street.
