On my second day of my trip to Banda Aceh City, I took my time to visit the Mesium Aceh, in Mesium Aceh is stored a lot of silent witnesses of aceh history in the past or the history of aceh in the era of aceh kingdom first, one of which is maked form architecture of Baiturrahman Grand Mosque since 1873 to architectural form in 1957.

The architecture of the Grand Mosque of Baiturrahman which we see at this time is very much different in form when compared to the former kingdom, during the time of the aceh kingdom the form of baiturrahman mosque architecture is still in the traditional form in terms of its building, as seen in the following picture.

This is a model of Baiturrahman Grand Mosque in the form of architecture in 1873, the model Mesji Raya Baiturraman which was established during the Sultan Iskandar Muda Kingdom and followed other traditional architectural patterns in Indonesia which is mixed with Islamic cultural ornaments so the mosque is very beautiful and interesting. However, during the reign of Nurul Alam's kingdom in 1675 to 1678. Some time after the burning of the mosque and then re-established the mosque with the same name even in the same location as well.
After the rebuilding of the mosque was burned again in 1873, the burning of the mosque returned as a result of the war between the Dutch and the royal army of Aceh.

Then on the second mock this is the architectural form of Baiturrahan Great Mosque which was founded in 1879.
