Masjid Selat Melaka, Malacca, Malaysia





Photo by UncaJon

Melaka Straits Mosque, or Masjid Selat Melaka, is a modern mosque on the man-made island of Pulau Melaka near Malacca Town in Malaysia. Architecture of the mosque combines the craftsmanship of the Middle Eastern and the Malays. It is situated facing the Melaka Straits on a 1.8 hectare land. When the tide is high and the water level goes up it looks like a floating structure. Apart from serving as a house of worship, it has also become a tourist destination.
