Demak, Administrative region in Central Java, Indonesia

Located on the northern coast of Java island, Demak Regency spans across 995 square kilometers of terrain at 4 meters above sea level.

The region emerged as the center of the first Islamic kingdom in Java during the 15th century, marking a turning point in religious influence.

The regency maintains strong ties to Islamic traditions through its numerous historical mosques and regular religious ceremonies throughout the fourteen districts.

The agricultural sector forms the foundation of local economy with extensive rice fields spread across the flat coastal landscapes of the region.

The Great Mosque of Demak contains four main pillars constructed from different pieces of wood assembled without any nails or metal fasteners.
