At-Taqwa Mosque, Cirebon

The mosque features a main 65-meter minaret surrounded by four smaller towers and showcases traditional Javanese Islamic architectural elements throughout its structure.

Founded in 1918 as Tajug Agung, the mosque underwent reconstruction in 1951 and received its current name At-Taqwa during its inauguration in 1963.

The building incorporates Brazilian granite surfaces with Islamic motifs, while its entrance displays the shahada calligraphy crafted in golden glass-reinforced cement.

The prayer hall maintains temperature control through large open windows that facilitate natural air circulation instead of traditional glass-covered openings.

Ten date palm trees provide shade in the side yard, complemented by twin fountains positioned at the entrance and six decorative lamp-bearing pillars.
