Baiturrahman Grand Mosque, Grand mosque in Banda Aceh, Indonesia
The white-walled mosque features seven black domes, eight minarets, and marble floors imported from China, accommodating 30,000 worshippers within its halls.
The original mosque, built in 1612 during Sultan Iskandar Muda's reign, was destroyed in 1873 and rebuilt by Dutch colonists in 1879.
The mosque serves as the primary religious center in Banda Aceh, hosting major Islamic celebrations and daily prayers for the local community.
Visitors can access the mosque daily, with guided tours available, and must follow dress codes including wearing provided robes for non-Muslim guests.
The mosque withstood the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami with minimal damage, becoming a symbol of resilience for the Acehnese community.
