Sabilal Muhtadin Grand Mosque
Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin
The grand mosque in central Banjarmasin, with a golden dome and five minarets reflected on the Martapura River bank, a landmark of the city.
The mosque was completed in 1981 and is named after the 18th-century Banjar Islamic scholar Muhammad Arsyad al-Banjari. It can hold about 15,000 people. Its large copper-coloured main dome and surrounding minarets are impressive, and the green square around the mosque looks especially striking when the lights come on in the evening. It is located in the city centre, within walking distance of the Martapura River promenade. Visitors are welcome outside prayer times. Dress modestly, remove your shoes, and women should bring a headscarf.
