Great Mosque of Central Java

The Great Mosque of Central Java (Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah) is the provincial mosque of Central Java located in Gayamsari, Semarang. Completed in 2006, it is notable for its blend of Javanese, Islamic and Roman architectural styles, six minarets, central domes, and a 99-meter Al Husna Tower. The 10-hectare complex serves as a major religious, educational and tourism landmark in Semarang.

Visitors can expect a vast mosque complex with a large central prayer hall under tiered roofs, six towering minarets, and expansive courtyards with six giant hydraulic umbrellas inspired by the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. The grounds include the 99-meter Al Husna Tower with an observation deck and rotating cafe, a museum of Islamic culture, library, auditorium, and landscaped gardens. The atmosphere is active for daily prayers and quiet for sightseeing outside prayer times.
