Tranquerah Mosque, Historic mosque in Malacca, Malaysia
The Tranquerah Mosque features a triple-tiered pyramidal roof structure supported by four wooden pillars made from Borneo ironwood timber and incorporates ventilation elements.
Built in 1728, the Tranquerah Mosque functioned as the main state mosque of Malacca until 1990, when the Al Azim Mosque took over this role.
The mosque displays an architectural fusion of Malay, Chinese, and Indonesian elements, with carved wooden doors, ceramic tiles, and Chinese-style lattice windows.
The mosque contains a main prayer hall connected to a verandah and ablution area, surrounded by an ornate cast iron fence with a decorative VIP entrance gate.
Instead of a traditional minaret, the mosque features a five-story octagonal pagoda structure, representing the fundamental principles of Islamic faith.
