Fodor's Expert Review Al-Abrar Mosque
Chinatown and Tiong Bahru
Religious Building/Site/Shrine
In 1827 when the original thatch hut stood here, it was one of Singapore's first mosques for its Indian Muslims. Also known as Kuchu Palli (Tamil for "mosque hut"), the existing structure dates from 1850. Though much of the mosque's original ornamentation has been replaced, its original timber panels and fanlight windows have remained.
