Research on Masjid Kampung Kling

My research starts here...


It was built in 1748 and one of the oldest mosques in Malaysia, located in Malacca.The roof, though, shares common aspects with pre-Islamic Hindu architecture found throughout the archipelago, and still visible in Bali nowadays.





The special thing about Masjid Kampung Kling is it has a tower not like normal tower that u'll can find in Malaysia, but the features more likely towers found on Sumatran mosques.This already show the builders of this mosques come from outside Malaysia.
