Located in the south of the Kotagede Market area now, to be precise in Jagalan village, Banguntapan sub-district, Bantul. Kotagede Mosque was built during the Mataram Kingdom era in 1640 by Sultan Agung together with local people who are generally Hindu and Buddhist. This mosque has an inscription which states that the mosque was built in two stages. The first stage was built during the Sultan Agung era only in the form of the core building of the mosque which was small so that it was called langgar. The second stage of the mosque was built by the King of Kasunanan Surakarta, Paku Buwono X. The different parts of the mosque built by the Sultan Agung and Paku Buwono X are on the pillars. The part that was built by Sultan Agung had wooden poles while those that were built by Paku Buwono had iron poles. This mosque is still alive today. Residents still use it as a place to carry out religious activities. This mosque building is a form of tolerance by Sultan Agung when the residents who participated in building the mosque embraced Hinduism and Buddhism. Hindu and Buddhist characteristics still clearly influence the building of this mosque [\u2026] The core building of the mosque is a Javanese pyramid-shaped building, its characteristics can be seen on the pyramid-shaped roof and the room which is divided into two, namely the core and the foyer.\u201c (Purbahanggita\/Prianto 2021: 300-301)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Again, this is a Sultan\u2019s mosque.

The mosque was officially opened in 1952 CE. It was regarded as a symbol of victorious Indonesian nationalism in the former colonial, white neighborhood of Kotabaru, a symbol for colonialism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eCompared to other mosques in Indonesia in the 1950s, the Syuhada Mosque was perhaps the most modern in terms of facilities. In addition to a partition of prayer halls between men and women, a special room was allocated for women on the ground floor as a changing\/makeup room. This was a breakthrough, given that the majority of Muslims saw the mosque as a male territory,interpeting one of the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s words which state that women are better performing prayer at home. Syuhada, therefore, asserted that it welcomed women and recognized one of women\u2019s major needs: makeup. Indeed, it was partly for this reason that some Muslim women came to Syuhada. Meanwhile, the toilet and bathroom were made of good quality materials and were carefullymaintained. Sandals were no longer spread in the frontyard, but were put on racks [\u2026]. There was also a hall which was used as a lecture room; at that time, Syuhada Mosque was famous because of this room [\u2026]. Of no less importance, Syuhada had a library. Other facilities were a loud speaker and a telephone. A small studio was built inside the mosque, through which sermons were broadcast by radio all over the city [\u2026]. The mosque also had an electronic device to record the sermons [\u2026]. When it was officially opened, Syuhada\u2019s floor was covered by a beautiful and expensive carpet, which was donated by the&nbsp; Pakistani Embassy in Jakarta [\u2026].\u201c (Zara 2016: 17)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/rat-blog.univie.ac.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Picture-4-Masjid-Syuhada-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <em>Masjid Syuhada (February 2024, by the author)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another interesting mosque in Yogyakarta is the campus mosque of Universitas Gadjah Mada.
