4/5
1 review

Built in 1871 at the corner of Burg Street and Long Street, this church was decorated in a Gothic Revival style that looks like it came out of Gotham City, you know, the dark city in Batman. It really contrasts with the rest of Green Market Square, white, colorful and cheerful! At the beginning of the 19th century, when Methodism came to South Africa, a movement that originated from Protestantism, the church was used as a school and then as a base for activists opposed to apartheid.

PALM TREE MOSQUE

Mosque to visit

When the father of Islam in Tuan Gourou, South Africa, died in 1807, the movement was divided into two congregations and the house of Jan van Boughies was transformed into a prayer room. However, according to the legend, the difficult character of Jan would have pushed practitioners to enter the first mosque. The name of this one was changed and now refers to the palm tree that grows in front of its entrance. On Buitengracht, Nurul Islam Mosque, founded by the son of Tuan Guru in 1844. “Correct dress required.”
