These are some of the photos I took when I visited the Masjid Baiturrahman in 2023.
I visited Semarang several times during that time, and I spent a lot of time visiting this mosque and enjoying my time there.
When the weather is hot in Semarang, this Masjid really becomes an oasis, a comfortable place to find coolness for a moment.
At the time of the visit, the Masjid looked even better and more beautiful after the restoration. The presence of many reflective ponds and well-landscaped gardens make the Mosque part of the city's green landmarks.
Visitors to the Mosque are truly treated to a transitional experience from the outdoor space to the prayer space inside the Mosque, where visitors are well-organized.
Beginning when after crossing the gardens and ponds, visitors are invited to enjoy a comfortable and spacious ablution area, including supporting toilet facilities.
To get to the main prayer hall, male visitors still go through the old staircase while female visitors can use the elevator to the mezzanine floor.
The interior of the prayer hall is certainly physically nicer after going through the restoration phase, especially with regard to lighting and air conditioning that provides more comfort for worshipers. It is indeed a hall that provides solemnity at the time of prayer.
