Central Java Grand Mosque

Reviewed By nfwldr - Bekasi, Indonesia

I recommend to visit here by online transportation. The area is so spacious. There is a tower than you can visit, it's called Asmaul Husna Tower. The outside mosque was so hot but inside was very fresh, probablye because there are many fans, and many architectures was made from woods. The toilet area was big and clean. There is an area to keep our shoes

This place is so beautiful, and being a graveyard it is ironically peaceful. The pool/ water surrounding the park gives a cool feeling in the middle of very hot Semarang city. Big old banyan trees at the entrance look so strong and cooling too. Like any other Dutch graveyard in Indonesia this is one is also very clean and well kept. It is a must visit for tourists too. No charge on entry, however people are expected to keep noise down and respect that the place is not a scenic place for group photos etc. Keep the place clean and do not litter. I think you may feed the fish in the huge pond but with appropriate fish food. Go and learn about the different shapes of the grave tombs.
