About Tranquerah Mosque (Masjid Tengkera)
Tranquerah Mosque was built in 1728, originally entirely of timber, and was Melaka's state mosque until Masjid Al-Azim opened in 1990. It has a triple-tiered roof and, unusually, a pagoda-style tower in place of a minaret.
The tomb of Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor lies in the grounds. The mosque is gazetted under the National Heritage Act 2005.
