The Great Mosque of Surakarta, also known as Masjid Agung Surakarta, was constructed in 1768 by Pakubuwono III. Its three-tiered roof and lack of a dome reflect classic Javanese mosque design. The mosque's spacious courtyard and serene atmosphere invite reflection. Visitors can observe daily prayers and explore the adjacent royal cemetery. Its historical significance and architectural beauty make it a key religious site in Solo.
