Masjid Jamae

Chinatown, Singapore · built 1835

Masjid Jamae Chulia, alternatively simply known as Masjid Jamae (Masjid Jamae, Jawi, Tamil, Masjit Jāmi'ā), or the Periya Palli (meaning "Big Mosque") is a mosque located in Chinatown, Singapore. Built in the 19th century by Indian Muslim immigrants from South India, the mosque is one of the earliest to be built in the country. Along with its neighbour, the Sri Mariamman Temple, both of them stand out in the predominately Chinese district and have been gazetted as national monuments. The appearance of the mosque has remained generally the same as when it was first built in the 1830s.
