Great Mosque of Makassar, Islamic mosque in Makassar City, Indonesia.

The Great Mosque of Makassar contains two 66-meter minarets and extends across 13,912 square meters of land in South Sulawesi's capital city.

The mosque, designed by architect Muhammad Soebardjo through a construction committee contest, opened its doors to worshippers in 1949 at a cost of 1.2 million rupiah.

The mosque hosted Indonesia's first Musabaqah Tilawatil Quran competition in 1955, establishing a tradition of Quranic recitation contests in the country.

The mosque includes facilities of the Indonesia Ulema Council, a library, and spaces that accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers for religious services.

The religious complex stands on the former location of the Exelsior Makassar soccer field, transforming a sporting venue into a spiritual center.
