Mosques

Paramaribo, the capital of Suriname, is a multicultural city with a significant Muslim community. While our current database shows no mapped mosques within a 50 km radius of the city center, this likely reflects incomplete data rather than an absence of Islamic prayer spaces. Paramaribo is known for its diverse religious landscape, including mosques such as the historic Keizerstraat Mosque and the Wanica Mosque in the surrounding district. Muslims in the city typically pray at these established mosques or in community centers.

The city's Muslim population is concentrated in areas like the historic inner city, where the iconic wooden mosque on Keizerstraat stands, and in suburban neighborhoods such as Wanica and Lelydorp. These areas are home to several prayer rooms and Islamic centers that serve the local community. However, as our data does not include specific addresses or names of these places, we recommend verifying locations through local contacts or community networks.

For Muslims living in or visiting Paramaribo, the absence of detailed listings here does not imply a lack of prayer facilities. The city's Islamic community is well-established, with mosques and prayer spaces integrated into the urban fabric. New arrivals, students, and travelers are encouraged to connect with local Islamic organizations or use other resources to find nearby prayer places. Our database continues to expand, and we aim to provide more comprehensive coverage in the future.

Currently, no mosques are listed in our database for Paramaribo. To find prayer places, check local directories, ask at Islamic centers, or use community forums. Verify addresses and opening hours directly with the mosque or prayer room before visiting.
