Architecture of Ampel Mosque The Ampel mosque uses Javanese architecture rather than Arabic architecture even though it is in the Arabic Quarter. • Unlike other mosques in middle east and eastern Europe, the Ampel mosque doesn’t have a dome. Instead, it has a 3 level roof, which is a traditional Javanese style roof called Joglo. • The mosque has 16 wooden pillars inside with the calligraphy of AyatKursi on them. • The minaret is used to pray the Adzan. • The bedug is a large drum used for the call to prayer.
SunanAmpel and his best friends are buried in the west side of the mosque. His tomb is also visited by pilgrims and on the east side is the tomb of MbahSoleh. • There are five gates that symbolize the essential elements of Islam. They are the Peneksen Gate, Madep Gate, Ngamal Gate, Poso Gate and Munggah Gate.
