Denpasar, despite being predominantly Hindu, houses several important mosques including Masjid Agung Baiturrahim with its blend of traditional Indonesian and modern Islamic architecture. The city's Muslim community, though a minority, has a rich history dating back to the spice trade era when Muslim merchants established trading posts and Islamic settlements. Today, the Muslim community in Denpasar maintains active cultural and religious practices, contributing to the city's diverse religious landscape with well-established Islamic institutions and community centers.
