Kota Kinabalu City Mosque, Modern mosque in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
The white marble structure rests on a constructed island near Likas Bay, with symmetrical minarets rising above the central copper dome.
The Kota Kinabalu City Mosque opened in February 2000, marking a significant expansion of religious facilities in the Sabah state capital.
The mosque combines traditional Islamic architectural elements with contemporary Malaysian design principles to create a space for 12,000 worshippers.
Visitors must wear provided robes and remove shoes before entering the prayer halls, which remain closed to tourists during five daily prayer times.
The mosque reflects in the surrounding lagoon waters, creating mirror images that change with different light conditions throughout the day and night.
