Ampel Mosque


Located at 53 Jl. Ampel Masjid, the mosque is an inheritance of Sunan Ampel, one of Nine Sains of Islam spreaders in Java in the 14-15 the centuries. Until now the building has still been preserved as its original form and has five gates (paneksan gate, madep/worship gate, ngamal/practice gate, poso/fasting gate, and manunggal/united gate). All depict the five pillars of Islam. Ampel Mosque is one of the main pilgrimage destinations of Wali Songo tour. In this area you can try the Middle East Foods, and see a center of Muslim praying accessories and Islamic nuanced souvenirs.
