National Mosque of Malaysia, Main Islamic temple in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
The National Mosque features a 73-meter minaret and a concrete roof shaped like a 16-pointed star, surrounded by reflecting pools and gardens.
Built in 1965 after Malaysia's independence, the mosque replaced the Venning Road Gospel Hall church that previously occupied the location since 1922.
The National Mosque represents Malaysia's modern identity through its concrete structure while incorporating Islamic architectural elements and regional tropical motifs.
The mosque accommodates 15,000 worshippers and offers guided tours outside prayer times, with appropriate dress requirements for all visitors.
The mosque's design incorporates umbrella-like forms throughout its architecture, with the main roof resembling an open umbrella and the minaret top a folded one.
