Federal Territory Mosque
Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan
A large blue-domed mosque completed in 2000, blending Ottoman and Malay styles. Its reflecting pool and courtyard are often called the most beautiful mosque in Kuala Lumpur.
The Federal Territory Mosque was completed in 2000 and can hold about 17,000 worshippers. Its main design draws on Istanbul's Blue Mosque, with domes covered in blue tiles, while it also incorporates traditional Malay wood carving and geometric patterns. It is surrounded by reflecting pools and gardens, which make for excellent photos. Non-Muslims may visit free of charge outside prayer times. Robes and headscarves are provided at the entrance, shoes must be removed, and it is generally not open on Friday mornings. It is located near Jalan Duta in the government district northwest of the city. Public transport is limited, so a taxi is recommended (about 15-20 minutes from the city center). It can be combined with a visit to Istana Negara on the same day.
