Banda Aceh, Capital city at northern Sumatra, Indonesia
The coastal city stretches along the Aceh River at the northwestern tip of Sumatra, facing the Andaman Sea at 21 meters elevation.
The 17th century marked the city's golden era under Sultan Iskandar Muda, who led naval battles against Portuguese forces in the Strait of Malacca.
The Baiturrahman Grand Mosque accommodates 9,000 worshippers and represents the religious center of the region where Islamic law guides daily life.
The Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport connects the city with domestic destinations and Malaysia, while motorized becaks provide local transportation.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami transformed the urban landscape, leading to extensive reconstruction that merged traditional architecture with modern infrastructure.
