Jamia Mosque, Religious monument in Central and Western District, Hong Kong
Jamia Mosque is a house of worship in Central and Western District with a rectangular design and distinctive arched entrance. The building features Arabic-style windows throughout and can accommodate roughly 400 worshippers.
This house of worship was built in 1890 on leased British land and expanded in 1915 to accommodate the growing community. These changes reflect the deep roots the Muslim population established in Hong Kong.
The mosque serves as a gathering place where Hong Kong's Muslim community comes together for daily prayers and celebrations. Inside, visitors notice the peaceful spaces designed for worship and reflection.
The building sits in the Mid-Levels area on Shelley Street and is accessible via the Central-Mid-Levels escalator system. Plan time to ride the escalators and explore the surrounding neighborhood.
The structure received Grade I historic building status in 2010 and was officially protected as a monument in 2022. This formal recognition marks its importance in Hong Kong's architectural heritage.
