Abstract

Nineteenth-century mosques in Agam, Sumatra Barat, are an example of tangible heritage that can picture how Islam religion and Minangkabau custom blends in Sumatra Barat, especially in Agam Kecamatan. These mosques are Masjid Bingkudu, Masjid Kubang Putih, Masjid Pincuran Gadang, and Masjid Siti Manggopoh. From various elements the mosques have, it can draw meanings to know how Minangkabau custom and Islam religion unite. The method to get the meanings is by Peirce’s semiotics with his sign triangle model. With this method, each sign in the mosques split into representamen, object, and interpretant, which can explain the meanings. By combined interpretations from all signs that made with Peirce’s sign triangle, we know how Minang custom and Islam religion blends. It can harmonically cohere, it can be seen in mosque’s elements.
