Masjid Jamae

Masjid Jamae Chulia, alternatively simply known as Masjid Jamae (Malay: Masjid Jamae, Jawi: مسجد جامعة‎, Tamil: மஸ்ஜித் ஜாமிஆ, romanized: Masjit Jāmi'ā), or the Periya Palli (பெரிய பள்ளி; meaning "Big Mosque") is a mosque located in Chinatown, Singapore. Built in the 19th century by Indian Muslim im

migrants 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.
