Historic & Architectural Sites

Singapore’s skyline bridges centuries of design, from the 19th-century Neo-Gothic spires of Saint Andrew’s Cathedral to the futuristic, lotus-inspired ArtScience Museum.

It highlights the city's multicultural heritage through site-specific styles, including Indo-Saracenic mosque architecture at Masjid Sultan and the iconic Victorian elegance of the Raffles Hotel, alongside modern landmarks like the Esplanade and Gardens by the Bay.
