Located in the heart of Kampong Glam, Sultan Mosque is one of Singapore’s most iconic Islamic buildings and a national historic monument. This mosque with its golden dome was built in 1824 and features a unique Moorish architectural style. The area beneath the dome is decorated with glass bottle bottoms, symbolizing equality between the rich and the poor, carrying deep cultural significance. Visitors must remove their shoes before entering, and female visitors who are inappropriately dressed can borrow shawls for free. The interior is serene, with high ceilings and soft lighting, making it a great place for quiet reflection and appreciating cultural beauty. Guided tours offer deeper insights into the history and beliefs of Singapore’s Muslim community. Although the visit is brief, the impression it leaves is profound, making it a must-visit stop in Kampong Glam.
