Built in the late 19th century, this is the oldest and most prominent mosque in Port Louis.
Its blend of Indian, Creole and Islamic architectural styles reflects the island’s diverse influences.
A quiet inner courtyard offers respite from the busy market streets outside.
Visitors are welcome outside prayer times, dressed respectfully.
