The tomb of Queen Kalinyamat is located at the Mantingan Site, Jepara. Her tomb is in a large dome with the tomb of her husband, Sultan Hadlirin, and the tombs of a number of relatives. In front of the tomb complex, there is the Astana Sultan Hadlirin Mosque with distinctive carved decorations. Schouten and C. Deker, as quoted by Setiawan (2017: 14-15), stated that the Mantingan Mosque, another name for the Sultan Hadlirin Mosque, is the oldest mosque in Jepara. The distinctive shape of this mosque is its high roof with five levels, square without a porch, and surrounded by water, like a royal mosque. The distinctive roof shape is very easy to recognize from afar, and reminds people of the shape of the pagodas that are often found in mainland China. Apart from being a city icon, this mosque is a marker of the earliest presence of Islam in Java, and its relevance to the spread of the Hanafi school of thought and the existence of the Chinese Muslim community. Quoting F.D.K. Bosch, Tjandrasasmita stated that the Mantingan site is a combination of decorative patterns inspired by Islamic (Arabic) art and some of them show decorative patterns inspired by Javanese-Hindu decorative art (Tjandrasasmita, 2000: 44).
