Getaway Trip Day 1: Discovering Masjid Jamae — A Timeless Icon in Chinatown, Singapore

#springitinerary Began my Chinatown journey with a visit to Masjid Jamae (Chulia), a serene and historic mosque on Mosque Street, built in 1826 by Tamil Muslim merchants from South India. As one of Singapore’s oldest mosques, it showcases a unique blend of Indo-Islamic and Neo-Classical architecture, with its distinctive green twin minarets and pastel façade standing out amid Chinatown’s vibrant backdrop. Gazetted as a National Monument, this mosque isn’t just a place of worship—it’s a powerful symbol of Singapore’s multicultural roots. Situated in the heart of Chinatown, it’s easily accessible and a must-visit for cultural enthusiasts and photographers alike. Don’t miss capturing its iconic façade—it’s a photogenic gem perfect for your Instagram feed.
