Masjid Agung Jateng

The Architecture of the building is a new combination which takes a model from guardians tradition by applying a universal style of Islamic architecture on its primary building and by showing it's main dome equipped with a pointed minaret, towering over the all four sides.
The feature of this mosque lies on the building which emulates the principles of a cluster model and the existence of 6 giant electric umbrellas for shading the pilgrims in the courtyard. These umbrellas can open or close automatically as those in Prophet's Mosque in Medina. MAJT has a tower of 99 M high which is called Al Husna Tower. There are museum and Islamic café inside by which they can rotate around 360 degrees.
There is also a telescope inside used to view beautiful scenery of Semarang. For those who want to relax, MAJT also provides some facilities, such as playground and mini-trains that bring visitors around the mosque.
