   Mesjid Ampel

   • Surabaya, Indonesia
   • Sights › Building

   The Mesjid Ampel is the most sacred mosque in Surabaya. I it was here that Sunan Ampel, one of the wali songo who brought Islam to Java, was buried in 1481. The mosque itself is a huge space, the vast expanse of its marble floor divided by dozens of wooden pillars, but there’s very little in the way of ornamentation. Behind the mosque pilgrims chant and present rose-petal offerings at Sunan Ampel’s grave.
