First built in 1847, the Kuchig Grand Mosque has stood intact as the oldest Islamic symbol in Kuching City. Since its construction, the mosque has been renovated four times. The latest design inspired by the Mughal dynasty building, studded with Malay philosophy and tradition, has remained one of the most recognizable icons of Kuching City.
