Mesjid Ampel
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.

Kong Co Kong Tik Cun Ong Temple
The stunningly atmospheric Kong Co Kong Tik Cun Ong temple is primarily Buddhist, but has a variety of Confucian and Taoist altars if you can see them through the plumes of incense smoke.
