Masjid Jamek is known as the Friday Mosque. The mosque was built in the year of 1907. One interesting fact about the mosque besides being the oldest one in town is that it was built on the first Malay Burial Ground in Kuala Lumpur. The architecture of the mosque is a combination of Moorish, Islam and Magul. The mosque provides a sense of tranquility and serenity as there are pal trees around, not to mention the nearby rivers. There are a total of three domes surrounding the prayer hall. The central dome is as high as 70 ft and is defined by two other lower domes and there are two high minarets in red and white stripes at the corners which measured around 88 ft tall.
