The story behind the place
Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque stands in Kampong Kiarong, Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei’s tourism authority describes its golden domes, mosaics, marble accents and geometric patterns. The main frontage combines broad pointed arches with cylindrical minarets and smaller domed forms. Its colour contrasts are especially striking: pale walls, dark shaded openings, blue borders and gold above. Look for the repeated arches beneath the large central dome, then follow the patterned bands around the tall minarets.
