Great Mosque of Palembang, Main mosque in central Palembang, Indonesia

The Great Mosque of Palembang spans 15,400 square meters with a three-tiered green roof and two tall minarets near the Musi River.

Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I initiated the construction in 1738, taking ten years to complete due to conflicts with Dutch colonial forces.

The mosque architecture combines Malay, Chinese, and European elements, featuring traditional stepped roofs, pagoda-like structures, and high European-style windows.

The mosque accommodates 9,000 worshippers and maintains regular prayer schedules, with additional facilities for religious education and community gatherings.

During the month of Ramadan, the mosque grounds transform into a market where local vendors sell traditional food and religious items.
