Overlooking the Garden of Islamic Arts is the magnificent Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque, the state mosque of Selangor. Amazingly, it is the second largest mosque in Southeast Asia and the largest in Malaysia.
Named after Selangor's late Sultan who commissioned it in 1982, the mosque is also known as the 'Blue Mosque'. Four 142-meters high minarets standing tall at each of its corners are the world's tallest group of minarets. Also, it can accommodate around 24,000 devotees at a time. The blue stained glass of the mosque fills the ornate building with glimmering blue light. The 9 galleries here display an artistic blend of Islamic arts such as fine decorative calligraphy, painting and sculptures.
