This study aims to explore ethnomathematics aspects of mosque buildings and ornaments. This study used a qualitative approach to exploration methods. The techniques of collecting data were observation, documentation, and literature reviews. The research location was the Great Mosque of Cimahi which was determined using purposive sampling. The results of the study show that there are ethnomathematics aspects of the mosque building and ornaments. The mathematical concepts of the mosque building and ornaments are related to the concepts of geometry and algebra. Mathematical presentations related to mosque buildings and ornaments are expected to help students to connect mathematics with the surrounding culture so that mathematics becomes more meaningful.
