At Taqwa Grand Mosque

Bengkulu also offers spiritual tourism with historical nuances. One of the famous mosques in this region is the Grand Mosque of Akbar At-Taqwa Bengkulu. This colonial-styled mosque is located near the home of the first President of Indonesia, Sukarno, when he was exiled during the Dutch colonial era. Its park is quite spacious and designed with a vintage and classic style with a garden in the courtyard of the presidential palace.
