Satun Central Mosque (Majid Mambang) is located on
Buri Wanit Road and Satun Thani Road in the center of Satun. The mosque
was built in modern Islamic architecture style and decorated with
marble and colorful glasses.
The building is divided into two parts:
outside is a corridor that leads to a dome tower where there are
picturesque views of Satun and inside is a prayer hall. The library is
located in the basement. Previously, Masjid Bambang was a one storey
building. Its unique three-tier roofs were arranged in a pyramid shape
with the smallest one on the top and the largest at the bottom to cover
the whole building. The floors were covered with brown tiles. The
interior measured 13 meters both in length and width and the building
was supported by four wooden poles. The original Masjid had
deteriorated because of its wooden structures and because it was too
small to accommodate worshippers performing prayers. It was then
uprooted and rebuilt in the same plot of land. The new building was
completed in May 1979.
