MASJID LAMA SETAPAK SETAPAK, KUALA LUMPUR

Masjid Lama Setapak is one of the oldest mosques in Kuala Lumpur, built initially using timber with a pyramid-shaped roof. It is believed that the mosque was constructed at Kampung Puah, Setapak, in 1879 or earlier. In 1900, the mosque was relocated to Lot 2772, behind the primary market of Setapak. Later, it was relocated again to its original site in 1920 while still preserving its initial building structure.

Interestingly, the construction of the original Masjid Lama Setapak did not use any nails. Thus, it allowed the community to move it to another site quickly. Its brick and stone architecture influences British-colonial architecture, while its small dome, decoration, and arches are influenced by Mughal architecture. The mosque was in use until 2005, and now it is not in use anymore.
