Kudus, Administrative regency in Central Java, Indonesia
Kudus Regency extends across 425.17 square kilometers of land, making it the smallest regency on Java Island, with Mount Muria rising in the northern section.
The regency gained prominence in the sixteenth century as an Islamic center, named after Jerusalem, with Sunan Kudus leading the expansion of Sunni Islam.
The Mosque of Kudus, constructed in 1549, combines pre-Islamic architectural elements with Javanese design, featuring a traditional tower and intricate mihrab inscriptions.
Nine districts form the administrative structure of Kudus Regency, with Kota Kudus serving as the capital and main center for government services.
This regency marks the birthplace of kretek clove cigarettes, invented by Haji Jamahri in the late 19th century, establishing a major tobacco industry.
