Rao Rao Mosque, Mosque in Nagari Rao Rao, West Sumatra, Indonesia.
The Rao Rao Mosque features a four-layered curved roof with corner towers and Persian-influenced architectural elements within its square prayer hall.
Built in 1908 on land provided by H. Mohammad Thaib Caniago, the mosque replaced an older structure called Atap Ijuk Mosque.
Four main pillars and doors in the mosque represent the four ethnic groups of Nagari Rao Rao: Caniago, Bendang Mandailing, Koto Piliang, and Patapang.
The mosque includes two entrance staircases, traditional ablution pools, and a separate two-story building called Markaz completed in 2001.
Despite experiencing damage from earthquakes in 1926 and 2009, the mosque maintains its original brown floral ceramics imported from the Netherlands.
