Prayer hall with circular dome minbar and minaret of Hajjah Fatima Mosque Singapore

---

Singapore - October 6, 2018: The interior male prayer hall courtyard of the historic Hajjah Fatimah Mosque located along Beach Road in Singapore`s historic Kampong Glam area. Note the wall niche or mihrab pointing towards Mecca as well as the pulpit or podium for the Imam leading the prayers. It was built between 1845 and 1846 by Hajjah Fatimah, a wealthy businesswoman originally from Melaka. The mosque is known for its unique minaret, which resembles a church spire and the noticeable tilt of its minaret, which has led some to refer to it as the “leaning tower of Singapore”.
