    Although I am not of the Muslim faith, I was still invited to walk around the grounds with my borrowed robes from the parking lot level rental place (presumably just for foreigners like myself). Lots of friendly people wanting to get their picture taken with an authentic Western tourist, or just enjoying the peaceful environs.

    The most populous and greatest mosque in Banda Aceh. Astonishing architecture, changing colour at night. Always crowd in this Holy Place.

    The original Masjid Raya ("Grand Mosque") was built in 1612 during the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda .

    Some say the original mosque was built even earlier in 1292 by Sultan Alaidin Mahmudsyah.

    The original royal mosque featured a multi-tiered thatched roof, a typical feature of
    Acehnese architecture.

    I’m a non-Muslim traveller and I’m allow to visit this mosque . The security guard are friendly and well explained the rules of mosque.
    Entrance is free but they provide me a Muslim clothes to put on it as I don’t need to change. there is small room in guardbooth to put on the Muslim wear as don’t need to change also.
    The guard told me u are allow walk around the mosque but not allow to step on the marble floor so I can’t enter inside the mosque.
    Im allowed to take video or photo around mosque area. This place is crowded during prayer time but non of tourist visit. Prayers there are super friendly to request take photo with them maybe the reason because no many tourist visit this beautiful mosque.

    Located in the center of Banda Aceh City, Aceh Province, Indonesia.
    Symbol of religion, culture, spirit, strength, struggle, and nationalism of Acehnese people.
    Royal scripture has it that the mosque was firstly built from wood in 1612 under the Reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda.
    Some say it was built even earlier in 1292 by Sultan Alaidin Mahmudsyah.
    During the Aceh war in 1873, the mosque was burnt to the ground.
    Realizing the value and its importance to the people of Aceh, in 1879, Major General Vander acting as current military general, rebuilt the mosque as it was once promised by Governor General Van Lansberge in 1877.
    Two more domes were added by the Dutch in 1936 and another two by the Indonesian government in 1957.

    A lot had been said about this mosque.
    In 2007 this mosque had been upgraded with the aid from Saudi Arabia.
    It has a good underground parking, a mini park in its compound, a beautiful ablution centre and underground rooms that can be used for conferences, just to mention a few.
    I wonder if those rooms can be used as bunkers.
    The marble tiles upon scrutinising show that they are cut from the same plane of a mountain. Some are intricately rearranged to its original position. But most are placed at random especially the ones in the mosque.

    The mosque is a landmark of Aceh, was built in 1912. One of beautiful mosque in Southeast Asia. If you came to Aceh, you must visit this mosque. The mosque is very beautiful and always welcome for you to visit, even you are non Muslim. You will love it.

    After so many years, which we failed to enter the Mosque, but this day.
    we finally get in and have the great opportunity to explore this beautiful and the biggest mosque in Banda Aceh.
    Even though some part of it is still under renovation, the magnificence of the building and the structure is still astonishing.
    A feeling also came to me when I just entered the Mosque and stay in its inside, people of Muslim religion, I think this is the most comfortable place they would stay.
    I could see people playing, praying, resting, laying on the marble ground.
    I first experienced the Muslim culture when I visited Turkey like decades ago and now the Muslim culture is more layman, and close to people's every day life.
    It's not far, but just within the every day life of working.
    I hope the renovation could finish as soon as possible, and my next best wishes would be seeing all the amazing umbrellas open, blossom, all open for one time.

    Beautiful mosque, worth a visit. Be aware that shorts are not accepted for men, yet you can buy some long leg clothes on the market beside. You can go respectfully inside, even tough it's only for muslims.

    Biggest mosque in Aceh. The mosque become a historic place when tsunami came in 2004. Almost every building near the mosque is broken, but the mosque is standing still, until now. Acehnese feel so proud with the mosque
