Jummah Mosque, 19th century mosque in Port Louis, Mauritius
The Jummah Mosque spans an entire city block, featuring multiple prayer halls, courtyards, and architectural elements from Indian, Creole, and Islamic traditions.
Construction of the mosque began in 1878 and continued until 1895, following the purchase of several properties by Muslim merchants between 1857 and 1877.
The mosque serves as a religious education center where students participate in Quran memorization classes, culminating in graduation ceremonies during Ramadan.
The mosque management committee, elected every three years, maintains the religious complex and organizes regular prayer services for the Muslim community.
An Indian almond tree, present since the original land purchase in 1852, continues to grow in the central courtyard of the mosque complex.
