The floating Mosque - Malacca Straits Mosque (Masjid Selat Melaka) at Malacca, Malaysia

The Melaka Straits Mosque is known as Malacca's floating mosque as it is built on stilts above the sea.

It was officially opened by Malaysia's King on 24th November 2006. It is constructed with modern Islamic design and craftsmanship. While the main dome is Middle Eastern in appearance, the four corner turrets are topped with typical Malaysian rooflines.

The facade of the mosque is decorated with stained glass windows with Islamic motifs. The minaret also has a striking and unusual design.

It is an attractive building that has already become popular with photographers.

The mosque is located on Pulau Melaka which is a man-made reclaimed 40-hectare island just off the city centre of Melaka.
