Great Mosque of Sabilal Muhtadin

Situated within the giant city of Banjarmasin, the Masjid Raya Sabilal Muhtadin is one of South Kalimantan's most famous and most visited landmarks, since it is actually Indonesia's second-biggest. The Great Mosque of Sabilal Muhtadin stands alongside the Sungai Martapura riverfront and was built over a seven-year period in the 1970s, being named after a famous Islamic philosopher Syekh Muhammad Arsyad Al Banjari (1710 to 1812). Capable of accommodating some 15,000 people, the mosque is close to the office of the region's governor and known for its dramatic curved roof, which many agree closely resembles a floating UFO spaceship.
