Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque

The Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque or Blue Mosque is located at Shah Alam in the state of Selangor. It is the country's biggest mosque and also the second biggest mosque in Southeast Asia after Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia.

The mosque was build in 1982 and finished on March 11, 1988. Shah Alam was the new capital of Selangor since February 14, 1974. Its architecture is a combination of Malay and Modernist style.
The main dome of the mosque is the biggest dome in Malaysia, measuring 52m in diameter and 107m in height from the ground level. The four minarets are the second tallest in the world at 140m. In its early years, the mosque was also listed in the Guinness World Records as having the tallest minaret in the world, a title it had lost to the King Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. The mosque can accommodate up to 16,000 worshippers.
