Al-Mashun - Grand Mosque of Medan

Not far from Maimun palace,Great Masjid-Al Mashun, is one of more popular places for tourist destination. This masjid has designed by a Dutch Architec,J.A. Tingdeman, on 1906-1909 during a periode of Sultan Ma'moen Al Rasyid Perkasa Alam, the Deli Sultanate IX and has not been changed since its building. What a durable building, after having a hundred years !...
When looking at dome, arcades, and ornaments most are based on Malay Kingdom style. It’s important to remember, that masjid is where people prays to God. Thus when designing to the altar it should be carried out so that it is quiet and comfortable for praying.
