Based on available mapped records, the city itself hosts at least one listed mosque—Aisha Olowo Mosque on Ako Dudu Street in the Koso area—while the surrounding region within a 50-kilometer radius contains approximately 20 additional prayer spaces. These listings span several towns and villages, reflecting the widespread presence of Islamic worship facilities across Oyo State and into neighboring Osun State.

Beyond Oyo city, prayer places are concentrated in several identifiable areas.
