"You'll be amazed with the beautiful Islamic architecture and intricate creation of craftsmen during yesteryears. And be prepared to be transported back in time."

Facing the Balai Besar is the Zahir Mosque, which is one of the oldest mosques in the country.  It was completed in 1912 and has a distinctively Moorish architecture, with a main dome and several smaller domes surrounded by minarets.

You'll be amazed with the beautiful Islamic architecture and intricate creation of craftsmen during yesteryears, depicting purely Islamic architecture and design. Be prepared to be transported back in time.
