Istiqlal Mosque is Indonesia's national mosque, named after the Arabic word for independence. Designed by the architect Friedrich Silaban, it was built from 1961 and opened in 1978 beside Merdeka Square, across the road from Jakarta Cathedral. A large white dome covers the main prayer hall, which holds up to 200,000 worshippers with its courtyards.
Jakarta Cathedral, officially the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, is the seat of the Catholic Archbishop of Jakarta. The neo-Gothic church, designed by the Jesuit Antonius Dijkmans and completed by M. J. Hulswit, was consecrated in 1901. Two openwork iron spires rise above its grey stone front, facing Istiqlal Mosque across the road.
Kim Tek Ie, also called Vihara Dharma Bhakti, is a Chinese temple in the Glodok Chinatown of West Jakarta and the oldest in the city. It was founded in 1650 as Kwan Im Teng, a shrine to the goddess Guanyin, burned in 1740 and rebuilt in 1755. Its red halls with curved roof ridges remain a working place of worship filled with incense and candles.
