Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad

Built more than a century ago, Masjid Jamek is one of the country’s oldest mosques. It was officiated by the-then Sultan of Selangor in 1909 – two years after construction was completed – and served as the city’s main mosque before Masjid Negara was built. Located at the confluence of Klang River and Gombak River, the mosque stands on the city’s first Malay burial ground. It was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback and features Neo-Moorish architectural style reminiscent of colonial buildings in Northern India.

Not far from Masjid Jamek across the Gombak River is the equally-historical Sultan Abdul Samad Building, which was designed by the same architect and shares a similar style. Masjid Jamek is a fine example of Islamic architecture in British Malaya that was built in the early 20th century. The design resembles Islamic architecture in northern India, which is used not only for Islamic buildings but also as administrative buildings during the British Colonial era.
