After the fall of the Demak Sultanate in the mid-16th century, Banten became the most prosperous trading centre in the Indonesian archipelago. The mosque was first built by Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin, the first sultan of Banten, who reigned from 1552 to 1570. Our record gives 1566 as the year of construction. The mosque is one of the few structures that survive from the old port city.
