Amirul Mukninin mosque, the floating mosque, in Makassar, Sulawesi, Indonesia at sunset

---

As it rises above the sea at the southern end of Losari Esplanade this elegant twin-domed structure is known as the "floating mosque". Constructed using concrete piles driven into the seabed, the Amirul Mukminin mosque resembles the traditional Makassar and Bugis stilt houses. At high tide, the mosque looks as if it's floating. For travellers, best time to visit the mosque is at sunrise or sunset. It has three floors that can accommodate up to 400 worshippers.
