Just next to the MSP is the Kramat, a Muslim shrine built in honour of the Prince of Madura, Pangeran Chakra Deningrat, who died on the Island in 1754. The Prince’s body was returned to his son in Indonesia and is currently buried in Jakarta. The Kramat on the Island is one of 23 Kramats which form part of the “Holy Circle of Islam” surrounding Cape Town. Tuan Guru, the first Chief Imam of the Cape and the most influential Muslim leader, was imprisoned on the Island from 1780 to 1793.
