National Mosque
The main dome of the national mosque is designed in the shape of
an 18-point star to represent the 13 states of Malaysia and the
five central Pillars of Islam, and has the appearance of a partly
opened umbrella roof which symbolises the aspirations of an independent
nation.
As one of Southeast Asia's largest mosques, its unique modern design
embodies a contemporary expression of traditional Islamic art, calligraphy
and ornamentation.
Have a quick look at your city map. You'll notice that the National
Mosque is right next to the architecturally fabulous old railway
station, and just a short walk to the sprawling Lake Gardens and
National Monument. If you have the energy, make a walking tour of
it by stringing these attractions together.
