Masjid (mosque of) Beuracan

Ini ada satu masjid lama yang amat menarik...
Here there is a very interesting old mosque...

Masjid yang terletak di Beuracan, Pidie ini menggabungkan bentuk tradisional Melayu bumbung berlapis tiga dengan kubah separuh bulat atau potong bawang di atas.

This mosque situated at Beuracan, Pidie combines the traditional Malay three-tiered roof with the half-sphere dome also known at potong bawang on top.

Mari kita masuk ke dalam.
Let us go inside.

Ukiran kayu yang terdapat di sini amat terserlah.

The wood carvings available here do really stand out.

OK. Ini adalah artikel ke 272 di sini. Untuk tempat kali ini sila rujuk pada artikel The journey to Pekan Saree, a hillside small town of Aceh... di blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH .
OK. This is the 272th article here. For the place in question this time please refer to the article The journey to Pekan Saree, a hillside small town of Aceh... in the blogspot BERPETUALANG KE ACEH .

Terletak sekitar 1,500 kaki dari paras laut di lereng Gunung Seulawah adalah masjid di Pekan Saree ini.

Situated some 1,500 foot above sea level at the slopes of the mountain called Seulawah is this mosque of Pekan Saree.

Semasa saya sampai pertengahan Jun 2009, kelihatannya masjid ini seperti baru siap dibina atau diperbaiki.

Went I arived here in the middle of June 2009, it looks like this mosque has just been completed or renovated.

Apapun, rekabentuknya agak menarik...
Whatever, its design is rather interesting...


Mihrab...
The front-most section inside...

Kalau tak salah saya, ini adalah satu-satunya masjid di Pekan Saree, pekan kecil yang terletak di lereng gunung pada jalan utama Banda Aceh ke Medan.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the only mosque at Pekan Saree, the small town situated at the mountain slopes on the main road from Banda Aceh to Medan.

Oh. Sebenarnya nama pekan ini cuma Saree sahaja. Tetapi orang selalunya menyebutnya sebagai Pekan Saree...

Oh. Actually the name of this small town is just Saree. But people always pronounced it as Pekan Saree (the small town of Saree)...
