Sacred Sites of Significance

East Java’s spiritual landscape reflects centuries of cultural shifts, featuring 14th-century Majapahit ruins like the red-brick Bajang Ratu gateway and the Candi Tikus ritual bathing pool. The region is home to the Al-Akbar National Mosque, Indonesia's second-largest Islamic house of worship, and the historic Sunan Ampel Mosque. Other significant sites include the Pura Luhur Poten at the base of Mount Bromo, the colonial-era Kepanjen Church, and Hong Tiek Hian, the oldest Chinese temple in Surabaya.
