About

Regent Nitiadiningrat I founded the mosque together with Kyai Hasan (Mbah Slagah), and the burial ground behind it holds ulama of the city, above all KH Abdul Hamid (1914–1982). Pilgrims come all year, and crowds swell for his annual haul. Dress modestly, then step out front to the Payung Madinah umbrellas on the square.
