Masjid Sultan, Religious landmark in Kampong Glam, Singapore.
The mosque features two prominent golden domes and minarets rising above the Kampong Glam district, with glass bottle ends decorating their base sections.
Sultan Hussein Shah constructed the initial brick structure in 1824, which was later replaced by the current mosque building between 1929 and 1932.
The mosque represents the Indo-Saracenic architectural style, combining Islamic motifs with traditional design elements from Indian and European influences.
The religious complex accommodates 5000 worshippers and remains open to visitors from Saturday through Thursday with guided tours available.
The base sections of the domes contain glass bottle ends donated by local lower-income Muslims during the mosque construction as their contribution.

Public squares across Asia combine historical significance with contemporary urban life. These spaces have served as centers for commerce, political gatherings and social events for centuries, reflecting the cultural evolution of their regions. Visitors encounter monuments symbolizing national identity, religious sites preserving spiritual traditions, and architecture spanning from imperial dynasties to the present day. Notable examples include Tiananmen Square in Beijing, one of the world's largest public plazas, and Naqsh-e Jahan Square in Isfahan, a 17th-century masterpiece of Persian urban planning. In Kathmandu, Durbar Square showcases Newari architecture, while Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul merges modern urban design with historical references. Sultanahmet Square in Istanbul sits between Byzantine and Ottoman landmarks, and Rizal Park in Manila commemorates the Philippine independence movement. These squares remain active components of urban life, offering travelers opportunities to experience local customs, street markets and seasonal festivals.
