Sultan of Ternate Mosque, Royal mosque in Ternate City, Indonesia
The Sultan of Ternate Mosque features a five-tiered roof made of corrugated steel, supported by four main posts and twelve supporting columns with a square layout.
Built in 1606 during Sultan Saidi Barakati's reign, this mosque established itself as a central religious institution in eastern Indonesia, marking the spread of Islam across Maluku.
The mosque functions as the principal religious center of the Ternate Sultanate, where traditional Indonesian architectural elements merge with Islamic design principles.
Access to the mosque requires men to wear trousers with a headscarf or cap, while sarongs are not permitted inside the sacred space.
During the 16th night of Ramadan, known as Malam Qunut, the Sultan arrives in a palanquin to perform special prayers and meet with local residents.
