2. Neo-Gothic Cathedral
Awe inspiring Neo-Gothic architecture. Located right across the Istiqlal Mosque. A beautiful symbol of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims. This classic church is still very amazingly beautiful inside and outside. Jakarta Cathedral still use for mass until today. Built from red thick brick with Neo-Gothic architectural design which common during 18th-19th century, you will get the European impression like you visit one of church in Rome. The interior have detailed figures of Catholic symbol and patron thus the light is very warm which enhance the ambiance. On the 2nd floor there are museum where most people not realize. If you visit at the mass, you will hear the typical echoing sound from the choir because it’s building structure.
3. Masjid Istiqlal
Istiqlal Mosque, or Masjid Istiqlal, in Jakarta, Indonesia is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia. This national mosque of Indonesia was built to commemorate Indonesian independence and named “Istiqlal”, an Arabic word for “independence”. As any other religious places would be, there is a serene and escape feeling when I enter it. The most beautiful thing that it is located face to face with the Cathedral, giving a more beautiful sight about how Indonesian wanted to be peacefully living together, regardless the religion.
