Jami Mosque of Pontianak, Islamic prayer house in Pontianak, Indonesia.

The Jami Mosque features multi-tiered pyramidal roofs supported by belian wood posts and incorporates glass windows between roof sections for natural illumination.

Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman Alkadrie established this mosque in 1771 during the foundation of Pontianak, marking it as the first religious structure in the settlement.

The mosque maintains its position as a primary religious center where Muslim residents gather for daily prayers and religious celebrations throughout the year.

Located at the intersection of Kapuas River and Landak River, the mosque accommodates 1,500 worshippers and stands on a raised platform 50 centimeters above ground.

The structure incorporates architectural elements typical of Indonesian river settlements, including its elevated foundation and traditional bell-shaped cupola design.
