Acheen Street Malay Mosque

In 1820, Syed Sheriff Tengku Syed Hussain Aidid donated a piece of land on which was built the Acheen Street Malay Mosque, which is also known as Masjid Melayu.

An interesting feature here is a small window halfway up the minaret. It is said to have originally been a hole made by a cannonball fired during the 1867 triad riots.

Opening hours: 11am to 5pm

Notes:
Visitors are advised to dress appropriately (no shorts or bare shoulders) and remove their shoes before entering.
