Madrid Central Mosque

Madrid Central Mosque is a religious facility in Cuatro Caminos with four floors housing prayer spaces, administrative offices, classrooms, and a library. The building combines functional areas for education, administration, and community activities in a single structure.

The building opened in 1988 and marked the return of an Islamic place of worship to Madrid, more than 900 years after Islamic rule ended in the city. This establishment represented a significant turning point in the city's religious landscape.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for Madrid's Muslim community and reflects the city's religious diversity. Visitors can observe how different generations come together to pray and participate in community events.

The location is near Estrecho metro station and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should check in advance which areas are open to the public and be aware of appropriate dress and customs when entering prayer spaces.

The facility maintains a partnership with Al-Azhar University that trains imams and provides religious education. This collaboration brings highly qualified scholars to lead prayers and ensures rigorous instruction in Islamic practices.
