Seria Mosque

About

In the small town of Seria, the Pekan Seria Mosque grandly stands to be marveled by both Islamic followers and tourists intrigued by ancient structures. While not as resplendent as the Omar Ali Saifuddin Mosque in the capital city, this mosque holds its own architectural significance amidst a city of abundant oil deposits. Built during a time when Brunei's oil influence was not as dominant as it is today, the Pekan Seria Mosque displays a modest yet traditional Muslim architectural style. The mosque features gilded domes, graceful minarets, and beautiful vaulted arches, all reflecting the Islamic heritage. It can accommodate up to 2000 worshipers and holds a one-hour study circle every day at midday for locals seeking shelter from the intense sun. Admire its serene beauty and the mosque’s religious services in this beautiful town. Photo by Pangalau, CC BY-SA 4.0 <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0>, via Wikimedia Commons
