Masjid Hajjah Fatimah, National monument mosque in Kallang, Singapore.
Masjid Hajjah Fatimah is a mosque that blends Indo-Islamic and European architectural styles in Kallang. The building features an onion-shaped dome, a minaret designed like a church spire, and decorative Chinese porcelain tiles covering its surfaces.
The mosque was built in 1846 on the site of a former residence belonging to Hajjah Fatimah, a wealthy merchant from Melaka. She commissioned its construction after her house had suffered two separate attacks.
The mosque is named after a wealthy woman, which was uncommon in early Islamic architecture across Singapore. Visitors can see how this female patronage shaped the character of the place within the local community.
The building sits on Beach Road in the Kampong Glam district and welcomes visitors during regular prayer times. Those interested in exploring its architectural details should respect prayer schedules and dress appropriately.
The building's minaret tilts about 6 degrees to one side as a result of soil conditions and historical construction methods. This characteristic lean makes it Singapore's recognized leaning religious tower.
