Old Machap mosque revisited

Continued from Muar river from Panchor.


Next we went to Machap, Melaka where lies an old mosque.



It is believed to have been built by a warrior who left the city of Melaka after the Portuguese invasion in 1511 AD.





Thus is the tomb of the warrior.



His mosque.


Situated besides a lake, man-made I think, the surrounding is very calming...









A closer look at the mosque...













It has been gazetted as a heritage building...





Muar river from Panchor




Next we went a few miles downriver and stopped by the small town of Panchor.



Situated besides the Muar river, it also offers scenic views of the long waterway...





A look upriver.



A look across.



A look downriver.



Muar river in front of the old mosque of Olak Sepam

This is from 2 days ago.



I brought some friends to Pagoh, Muar where we stopped by at an old mosque. Refer to the old article Revisiting the old mosque of Olak Sepam.



I have been here many times. This time I focused more on the Muar river in front.
