Landmarks of Selangor: Sultan Suleiman Mosque

Masjid Sultan Suleiman (CNB 2013)

Constructed in the year 1932, the Sultan Suleiman Mosque is sited just below the Istana Alam Shah. A and I stopped by to take some pictures, after visiting the Royal Gallery at the Sultan Suleiman Building on Saturday (05/01/13). We noted the unique egg yellow of its numerous domes.

The building's most beautiful interior is of  'Islamic, neogothic and Art Deco detailing'.

There is a model of this mosque in the Muzium Sultan Alam Shah and the architect is noted as a British, L. Keste Ven (i.e. Leofric Kesteven). The mosque can accomodate a congregation of 3,000.
