Jummah Mosque

The Jummah Mosque is the principal mosque of Port Louis and one of the most striking pieces of religious architecture in the Mauritian capital. Built in the mid-nineteenth century, it blends Indian, Creole and Islamic design in a serene white complex hidden amid the bustle of the city's Chinatown fringe. Carved wooden doors, arched courtyards and a venerable badamier tree lend the interior a quiet atmosphere. Serving the island's long-established Muslim community, it stands as a symbol of Mauritius's layered multicultural heritage.
