Also known as the Independence Mosque, the Istqlal Mosque which is also the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, stands graciously in the heart of Jakarta like a sprawling giant, summoning devotees to its embrace. Jakarta Serviced Apartments are the ideal accommodation for travellers visiting the city and Ascott Jakarta is a serviced residence in Jakarta that is preferred by many who opt for comfortable accommodations within the city.
Covering an area of 9 hectares, the mosque is capable of accommodating congregations of up to 120,000 people within its interiors. Sheathed in marble gleaming white in the middle of the city, the mosque manages to remain cool even during midday surprising all those who visit the premises.
