Great Mosque of Banten, 16th-century mosque in Serang City, Indonesia
The mosque structure exhibits octagonal pillars decorated with lotus motifs and three pyramidal roofs connected to a central prayer hall.
Sultan Maulana Yusuf initiated the construction of this religious complex in 1566, establishing it as a center of Islamic learning in western Java.
The mosque incorporates architectural elements from Javanese, Chinese, and European styles, visible in its minaret and prayer halls.
The religious complex contains separate prayer areas for men and women, with the main hall accommodating 2,500 worshippers at once.
A Chinese architect named Cek-ban-cut designed the 24-meter minaret in 1632, adding a distinctive element to the traditional Indonesian mosque structure.
