Mosquée de Saint-Pierre, Islamic mosque in Saint-Pierre, Réunion
The Mosque of Saint-Pierre is an Islamic house of worship located in Saint-Pierre, Reunion, featuring a tall minaret and multiple domes that shape its exterior. The structure combines modern construction methods with elements of traditional Islamic architecture.
The Muslim community acquired the land in the early 20th century, though the current building was not constructed until the 1970s under an architect's design. This gap between land purchase and construction reflects the community's long journey toward establishing a proper place of worship.
This place serves as a gathering point for the Muslim community, hosting prayer times and religious celebrations throughout the year. It functions as a social hub where visitors can observe daily worship practices and community life.
The site is accessible during daytime hours, though visitors should be respectful during prayer times when worshippers are present. Appropriate dress and behavior help ensure a positive visit for both guests and the community.
The building offers remote access through a virtual reality experience, allowing people around the world to explore its interior and spaces from home. This approach makes it possible for those unable to visit in person to still experience the place.
