This method is a study aimed at dissecting the characteristics of beauty in a work of art using aesthetic theory. The data used were obtained from field studies, literature studies, and interviews. The method employed is a qualitative descriptive method with a single embedded case study. The results of this research indicate that the interior of Al-Aqsa Manarat Qudus Mosque has characteristics of beauty from an aesthetic perspective.
