Lattan Mosque

 

Lattan Mosque, tradition has it that this mosque was built by a royal court dancing girl. Historians say Sultan Shamsuddin Yusuf Shah erected it in 1475. Traces of elaborate mina work in blue, green, yellow, violet, and white may still be seen on the enamelled bricks along the exterior and interior walls. Because of the splendour of the colours, the Mosque is also known as the Painted Mosque. The arched ceiling of this mosque, which is supported by octagonal pillars, is another intriguing feature.
