Masjid Yami Ul-Islam

This mosque is distinguished by its tall minarets, which is a rare feature among the mosques of Ayutthaya. It was founded beside Khlong Thakian in 1877 under the name of Masjid Al-Iqwan during the reign of Chulalongkorn. It was originally made of wood and much smaller, but the mustafa, called Kru Pa by most people, thought the building was getting old and damaged, so he raised a budget of approximately 500,000 baht for repairs. This expanded the mosque to multiple levels and added its distinctive minarets. It was then formally registered in July 1956. The size of its congregation expanded so much that prayer areas were set up outside in 1996. It can be visited from Wat Khok Jindaram by simply crossing the bridge between sites and making the first right hand turn.
