River Road Mosque
MasjidsAbout
The Louisville Islamic Center was constructed in 1980 on River Road in Louisville, Kentucky. Although the Mosque has gone through some changes and different names, it is still providing Islamic services to the Greater Louisville community. The structure, facing the grand Ohio River, has architecture that is quite utilitarian, painted in a white representing simplicity and purity, with traditional influences highlighted in green(a color chosen more as a harkening to tradition rather than rooted in faith). Prior to the establishment of the Mosque, Muslims used to gather in local homes or commute to other areas for Friday prayers. Now, the Louisville Islamic Center is one of over 12 different Mosques in our city.
WHO VISITS?The Louisville Islamic Center is open to all, regardless of ethnicity or faith. Our community members represent over 75 different nationalities and many different professions. We regularly host tours and open workshops for those who are interested in learning about Islam. If you would like to visit, register under the ‘Programs’ section below!
