Overview
One of the religious Muslim buildings on the island of Mauritius is the Jammah Mosque in Port Louis. Construction began after the purchase in 1852 of two adjacent lots on Royal Street. The new mosque took twenty years to build, although it was opened already in 1853. Graceful carvings along the perimeter of the entire snow-white fairytale building, minaret turrets and a golden dome invariably attract attention and create the illusion of touching a wonderful fairy tale.
