 The Great Mosque of Surakarta (Indonesian Masjid Agung Surakarta, Javanese Masjid
AgengKaraton Surakarta Hadiningrat) is an 18th-century Javanese mosque in Surakarta, Central
Java, Indonesia. It is the royal mosque of the Surakarta Sunanate.
The Great Mosque of Surakarta was built by Sunan Pakubuwono III in 1763. The mosque was
completed in 1768. The mosque was both a jami mosque (mosque for Friday prayer) and royal
mosque (mosque for ceremonies or rituals related with the royal). Traditionally, the mosque also
served as a judiciary in matters of religious significance.
The fence was added for the mosque complex in 1858 during the reign of Sunan Pakubuwono
VIII. A Mughal architecture-inspired minaret was built in 1928 during the reign of
Sunan Pakubuwono XI.
Surakarta Great Mosque is located within a 19,180 square meters complex surrounded by a solid
wall. The design of the Great Mosque of Surakarta follows a conservative Javanese architecture
principle. It basically consists of two buildings: the main prayer hall and the front hall (serambi). The
main prayer hall has seven doors connecting it with the serambi. Four main posts (Javanese saka guru)
supported the roof of the main prayer hall. This roof is a pyramidal tajug-styled roof, a type of roof
traditionally reserved for sacred buildings in Javanese architectural principle. The roof is three-tiered,
topped with a mustaka (rooftop ornament). As a royal mosque, there is a maksura to the left of
the mihrab. A maksura is a place for the ruler of the kraton to perform prayer. In case of the Great
Mosque of Surakarta, the maksura has a small hip roof.
In front of the main prayer hall is the front hall, known as the serambi. The serambi is basically a
porch-like structure semi-attached to the front facade of the main prayer hall. The serambi kept
two bedugs (Javanese drum to call prayer) and a large wooden kentongan. Another porch-like semi-
attached buildings flanked the main prayer hall to its left and right, this is called the pawestren.
The pawestrenis used as women's praying room.The minaret was located to the northeast of the
mosque. The design is based on QutbMinar of Delhi.
Following the traditional Javanese city planning, the mosque is located facing the northern alun-
alun of the kraton of the Kasunanan of Surakarta. To the south of the mosque is
the PasarKlewer ("Klewer Market"). The traditional kampung of Kauman, known for
its batikcraftsmanship, is located north of the Great Mosque.
