Constructed in 1992 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the current Sultan’s accession to the throne, the glittering and lavish Jame’Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque stands as one of the grandest Islamic monuments in South East Asia and is Brunei’s largest place of worship.

Leaning against the Chau Chu Mountain in the outskirts of Hue, this elaborately designed, hillside tomb has elements of Vietnamese and European architectural styles. Featuring blackened concrete, the Gothic inspired monument casts a striking silhouette against the verdant green countryside. While comparatively smaller than other Royal tombs, the building itself is far more elaborately designed than others of its era.
