Kampung Hulu Mosque, Malacca ✨

The oldest masjid in Melaka and the third in Malaysia. Located in Bandar Melaka. Praying inside the mosque feels like you are back in the old days. Beside the mosque, there are old cemeteries. It was told that the syeikh was the one who initiated the mosque. The syeikh was buried at the mosque moseleum.

The mosque is an example of vernacular Malay architecture, and is a nice bit of history in the old city. The mosque is a nice place to visit during a short stay in Malacca, and is close to other religious structures that show the religious diversity in Malaysia.

The architecture of this mosque is similar to that of Masjid Tengkera, it is well preserved by the state government and serves as a tourist attraction. However, recent checks by the Islamic authority revealed that the mosque's direction is not exactly towards the Kaaba in Mecca, and corrections will be made by the Melaka Islamic authority. The surrounding area of the mosque is clean and easy to access, which makes it a great place to perform prayers.

Overall, I found my visit to this mosque to be a positive experience and would recommend it to others interested in visiting historical landmarks in Melaka. ❤️
