Putrajaya Mosque Malaysia
This nice pink building is just opposite Putrajaya Square.
The Putra Mosque is the biggest mosque in Putrajaya, and one of its most prominent landmarks. Sitting as if afloat on Putrajaya Lake. From the Cruise Terminal this place reminds you to somewhere in Turkey or an old Indian Muslim Palace.
The "Sahn" or courtyard is landscaped with decorative water features and bordered by colonnades. The minaret is 116m tall - the tallest in the region.
The building was constructed mainly with rose-tinted granite, offset by brown-stained cengal woodwork to enhance the decorative features on the doors, windows and panels.
