Sultan Abu Bakar State Mosque was built over a period of some eight years starting in 1892 and is a mix of British colonial architecture and traditional Islamic motifs. One of the signature features of the mosque is the four minarets that are located on the top and are meant to look like traditional British clock towers. Much of the interior is covered in white marble and you will find a pretty blend of quaint Victorian design features mixed with Moorish motifs. The mosque can accommodate some 2,000 worshippers at one time and if you like religious architecture then this is not to be missed. Avoid visiting on Fridays and dress well covered if you mean to visit. -> Zoo Johor just cross the road, don't miss it too. 35 minutes drive from Pulai View Homestay.

Whether you’re here for the view, the architecture, or God, this mosque is a must-see for all. Built between 1892 and 1990, this Victorian-Moorish design overlooks the Straits of Johor and can admit up to 2,000 worshippers at any given time.
