Visit to the Adelaide City Mosque
The Adelaide City Mosque was built in 1888–1889, with its four distinctive minarets added in 1903.
It is the oldest permanent mosque in Australia, and is located in Little Gilbert Street in the south-west corner of the city centre. The mosque was originally built to accommodate the spiritual needs of “Afghan” cameleers and traders coming in after working in South Australia's northern regions.
Our visit starts at 10.30 and will last about one hour. They will give us a little something to eat during the visit, to welcome us. Lunch nearby after the visit is a possibility.
WHEN: Wednesday 18 September at 10.30am
WHERE: Little Gilbert Street
