Masjid Negara

The National Mosque of Malaysia is located at Kuala Lumpur. The mosque has a large capacity of 15,000 people and is surrounded by lush greenery which expands to a 13-acre land. The mosque was actually built on the site of a church in 1965. The best features of the mosque are the 73 meters high minarets and its 16 pointed star concrete which is its main roof. There are many meanings to the design of the mosque. The main roof's design was inspired from the idea of an open umbrella while the minarets were like a folded umbrella. The mosque has been standing firm on its grounds since then and is now deemed as an important symbol of the Islamic country of Malaysia
