Great Mosque of Central Java

The Great Mosque of Central Java integrates traditional Javanese, Arabic, and Roman-Greek architectural elements across its expansive 10-hectare grounds with a central dome spanning 20 meters.

The construction of this Islamic center began in 2001 after recovering historical religious land, leading to its inauguration by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in November 2006.

The mosque combines local architectural heritage through its pyramidal roof and batik-patterned pillars with Middle Eastern influences visible in its calligraphy and geometric patterns.

The facility accommodates 15,000 worshippers and features six large hydraulic umbrellas in its courtyard, which automatically open to provide additional covered space during peak times.

The Al-Husna Tower rises 99 meters high, offering a rotating café with 360-degree views of Semarang and houses a museum dedicated to Islamic culture.
