Welcome to Kudus

Kudus takes its name from the word al-Quds – the Arabic name for Jerusalem. Founded by the Muslim saint Sunan Kudus and with a venerable mosque dating from the 16th century, it remains an important pilgrimage site. Despite its strong Muslim identity, and in common with much of Java, Kudus retains links with a Hindu past and the slaughter of cows is still forbidden here.
