Ancient Banten Mosque.

While walking to the mosque, I must pass a non permanent market. There are many counter sale foods, Arabian Food, Islamic souvenir or Arabian Specific items. They are sale qurma, kismis and Sawo fruit. It is look like as an Arabian traditional market. Unfortunately this market is not enough manage. All the seller crowed to offering their goods. After walking about 100 meters, I can reach the mosque garden. This is a unique mosque. The architecture looks like as Demak Mosque in central Java. There is very clear influence with Hindu building. People enough care to the mosque. This mosque has some renovation. I spent time to get some photos on there. In the west area mosque, there is a royal cemetery of Sultanate and his family. Many visitors have come to have as a religion journey. They came from many cities of Indonesia. But we can not get some capture photos inside the cemetery. We stop a while to pray in the Banten Sultanate Grave.

The next posting… it is about “Karangantu harbor” (Devil Harbor). It is enough a scared name. Don’t forget to read my journey writing. ( by joe and ajie )
