Malacca is a unique place where the cultures of the east and west fused,
a good example are the minarets of these five mosques which resembles a pagoda
and fittings and decorations inside are a blend of Sumatran,English,Portugist,Chinese and Moorish.
This is the Pagoda styled Minaret of Kampung Kling Mosque
build in 1748 which is part of Malacca Heritage Trail.
