Masjid Kampong Holland
Built over 40 years ago and still almost in its original form now. Probably one of the smallest mosques around but its days are limited. It's current lease on TOL land will expire at the end of this year and will not be extended.

Hajjah Fatimah Mosque
Built between 1845 and 1846, the mosque was named after Hajjah Fatimah, a wealthy businesswoman. It is the only mosque in Singapore named after a woman. Combining Eastern and Western design, the mosque is known for its unique minaret, which resembles a church spire, as well as for the noticeable tilt of the minaret that has earned it the nickname “the leaning tower of Singapore”. The mosque was gazetted as a national monument in 1973. (National Library Board Singapore)
