Masjid Jamek 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 then Sultan of Selangor officially opened themosque 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 mosque has a Moorish architecture. Across the Klang River stands the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, a building that was designed by the same architect and shares a similar style.
