adminThe Baiturrahman Mosque - Indonesia holds a special place in the hearts of the people of Aceh for its survival in the face of the deadliest tsunami in living memory. It symbolizes Aceh's vivid and indelible Islamic culture.
Completed in 1881 by the Dutch to replace a 12th-century mosque that was destroyed by earlier battles. The church has an area of about 4700 square meters and can accommodate up to 9000 worshipers at the same time. The design of the church's seven black domes is reminiscent of the domes of Mughal India.
Located in the heart of Banda Aceh city (Aceh province, Indonesia), you shouldn't miss a visit to this Baiturrahman. Alternatively, you should also visit the Aceh Tsunami Museum - just 600m south of the Baiturrahman mosque to see how the city has recovered from the disaster.
