Masjid Jamek (3♥)



Built in 1909, Jamek Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  It is located at the confluence of the Klang and Gombak River and was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback.

The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sir Alaeddin Sulaiman Shah officially opened the mosque in 1909, two years after construction was completed. The mosque was built on the first Malay burial ground in the city. Before the national mosque, Masjid Negara, was opened in 1965, Masjid Jamek served as Kuala Lumpur's main mosque. The architect was Arthur Benison Hubback.

The mosque has a Moorish, Indo-Saracenic or Mughal architecture.  Across the Gombak River stands the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a building that was designed by the same architect and shares a similar style.


Nearby is the Masjid Jamek LRT station that is served by the Kelana Jaya Line, Sri Petaling Line and Ampang Line. The station is located between Chinatown and Little India; Dataran Merdeka is also nearby.





嘉美克回教堂
嘉美克回教堂(Masjid Jamek),在八生河及鹅唛河交汇点,与附近的现代化建筑相应成趣,建于1909年,是吉隆坡市最古老的回教堂,以以优雅的拱门穹顶见称,完全体现摩尔式建筑的风采。


嘉美克教堂是一座典型的印度穆斯林的建筑物,红砖环抱,棕榈围绕。这座建筑物不仅仅因为她悠久的历史而闻名,也因为他的设计师是著名的英国hubbocks所设计的。从1909年开始闪闪生光,以一种包容的气势包容着历史的变换。嘉美克回教堂的位置在吉隆坡的发源地哥巴河和巴生河的交汇的地方,也是当年的锡矿工人在吉隆坡登录的第一个地点。
