The Kotabaru Syuhada Mosque, Yogyakarta is a historic mosque building in the Kotabaru area, Yogyakarta . The mosque building is named “Syuhada” which in Indonesian translates as “fighter”. The mosque is indeed one of the mosques that has historical value, especially related to the struggle for Indonesian independence. The mosque was completed and inaugurated on September 20, 1952. The Martyr’s Mosque is precisely located at Jalan I Dewa Nyoman Oka 13, Kotabaru, Yogyakarta which was the headquarters and residence of the Dutch during colonizing Indonesia, along with the Chinese .as well as upper-class Indonesians or those receiving a Western-style education.  The construction of the Mosque itself was also based on the issue of the absence of a place of worship for Muslims in Kotabaru, considering that beside it stands a majestic church building called the Protestant Batak Christian Church in Kotabaru. In addition, the Indonesian government also intends to reward the people of Yogyakarta for their struggle against the colonialists and defending Indonesia ‘s independence . It should be noted, at that time, Yogyakarta was used as the capital of the Indonesian Revolution or a temporary government due to the Dutch army’s success in controlling itJakarta . To show Indonesia’s existence internationally, Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX offered to move the Indonesian government from Jakarta to Yogyakarta temporarily.
