This magnificent mosque in Asia Pacific has become one of the greatest tourist attractions. Named after the 28th Sultan of Brunei, the mosque, which is seen as a symbol of the Islamic faith in Brunei, dominates the skyline in the capital city, Bandar Seri Begawan. The architecture of the mosque, designed by an Italian architect on an artificial lagoon near the banks of the Brunei River, has a great influence of both Islamic and Italic styles.
