Great Mosque of Cirebon, 15th-century mosque in Cirebon, Indonesia

The mosque stands within the Kasepuhan Palace complex, featuring three-tiered wooden roofs and thirty round pillars supporting the main prayer hall.

Construction began in 1480 under the guidance of Nyi Ratu Pakungwati during the reign of Sunan Gunung Djati, combining expertise from Majapahit and Demak kingdoms.

The building incorporates architectural elements from Islamic and Hindu traditions, with nine entrance doors symbolizing the Wali Songo, Java's revered Muslim saints.

Located on Kasepuhan Street in Lemahwungkuk district, the mosque remains open 24 hours daily for prayers and visitors without entrance fees.

Every Friday, seven muezzins perform the Adzan Pitu tradition, calling for prayer simultaneously while wearing white traditional garments.
