Masjid jamek (Main mosque of) Yan, Kedah

Setelah beberapa lama sampailah kami ke pekan Yan atau lebih tepat Yan Besar. Kami terus menuju ke masjid jameknya...

After a while we then reached the small town of Yan or to be more precise Yan Besar (literaly the bigger Yan as there is a smaller town called Yan Kechil or smaller Yan not so far away). We headed straight to its main mosque...

Tahun Islam yang tertera menunjukkan ia dibina sekitar 1935 Masihi.

The Islamic year inscribed shows it was built around 1935 AD.

Masjid ini menimbulkan kenangan kerana di sinilah saya menginap ketika pertama kali sampai ke Yan 4 tahun lalu.

This mosque gives rise to memories as it was here that I lodged at when I first arrived in Yan 4 years ago.

Let us have a closer look.

Masjid (Mosque of) Permatang Bongor

Dari Kuala Kedah kami menghala ke Yan lalu terlihat masjid ini.
From the mosque of Kuala Kedah we headed towards Yan and saw this mosque.

Kebetulan saya penat dan perlu berehat, kami pun masuk ke dalam.

It happened that I was tired and needed to rest, so we went inside.

Dalam masjid baru saya tahu namanya adalah Masjid Permatang Bongor.

It was inside this mosque that I only knew its name is the mosque of Permatang Bongor.

Dewan solat. Nampaknya ia baru lepas dibersihkan dan belum diatur kembali...

The praying hall. Looks like it was just cleaned up and has not been arranged back...

Outside in front of this mosque could be seen this construction.

Nampaknya ia adalah tapak masjid lama.

Looks like it is the site of the old mosque.

Muzium Kota Kuala Kedah (Museum of the fort of Kuala Kedah)

Bersambung dari Kota (Fort of) Kuala Kedah.
Continued from Kota (Fort of) Kuala Kedah.

Di tengah kota terdapat bangunan ini.
In the middle of the fort there lies this building.


Pada beberapa sudut bumbung kelihatan ukiran yang saya suka panggil panggil lidah terjulur.

At a number of corners of the roof could be seen carvings which I like to call tounges coming out.

Saya pun melihat lebih dekat dan masuk.

I then had a closer look and went inside.

Rupa-rupanya inilah Muzium Kota Kuala Kedah.
As it turned out this is it the museum of the fort of Kuala Kedah.


Di dalamnya terdapat banyak maklumat tentang kota. Bacalah sendiri ya. Anda boleh membukanya di windows baru...

Inside it there are plenty of information on the fort. Read it yourself ya. You could open it in new windows...
