Jamik Mosque Bengkulu
Masjid Jamik Bengkulu
A mosque that Sukarno helped redesign during his exile, with a roof and column decorations that blend local styles.
The mosque was first built in the 18th century. In the 1930s, while Sukarno was in exile in Bengkulu, he took part in its redesign. Its features include a three-tiered roof, white columns, and carved Quranic inscriptions, and it is one of Bengkulu's most important Islamic landmarks. Visitors can enter outside prayer times. Dress modestly, women should wear a headscarf, and shoes must be removed before entering the prayer hall. Avoid visiting during Friday noon prayers. It is at the Jalan Suprapto junction in the city center and is a stop on the Sukarno heritage trail.
