Palm Tree Mosque
Why this place
Palm Tree Mosque is a place to connect Cape Muslim history with a congregation’s everyday life. The city's second-oldest mosque, from 1807, in a Long Street townhouse. Its address places it within a neighbourhood that you can explore thoughtfully, but the mosque itself should be approached through its purpose as a place of worship. Make time for salah and read the related heritage material before coming.
Check access and local prayer arrangements before making a special journey. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes that are easy to remove, and keep entrances clear as worshippers arrive and leave. Ask before taking photographs inside. If travelling with someone who needs step-free access, contact the mosque through its own published information rather than assuming an older building has the facilities you need.
