There is an interesting story behind the construction of this mosque. There was a delay in the construction because two royal elephants destroyed the marble while fighting then the marble was re-imported from Italy. Off to the side of the mosque are some traditional Malay houses such as Rumah Meor, an all wooden mansion once owned by one of the Sultan’s retainers Another traditional wooden house is Baitul Anor, the former residence of the Raja Kechil Sulong Harun Al Rashid; the prince of Perak.
