When Sir Raffles landed by the Singapore River two hundred years ago, he acquired land from the local sultan and funded the construction of a mosque in today’s Kampong Glam area, which is known as the Sultan Mosque (Masjid Sultan) of Singapore.

The Sultan Mosque was originally built in 1824 and during the commemoration 100 years later, the management decided to rebuild the mosque. The Sultan Mosque is constructed in the Indo-Saracenic style and has the iconic Yellow Onion Shaped Dome, along with several minarets and arched windows and doors.
