Masjid Bandaraya Kuching

Masjid Bandaraya Kuching (GPS: 1.55874, 110.34059) is a mosque in Kuching, Sarawak. Formerly the State Mosque of Kuching, it is off Jalan Market, on the site of the first mosque that was built in 1847 by the family of a famous Malay leader, Datuk Patinggi Ali. That first mosque was a simple wooden building with a pitch roof. In 1880, the mosque underwent renovations with the introduction of concrete columns and cement floorrs.

In 1929, a dome was added to the Masjid Bandaraya Kuching. It was at that time the largest mosque in Sarawak. By 1965, the mosque had to be rebuilt. The old structure was demolished and a new state mosque was built on its site. It was declared open by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on 20 October 1968.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
