Basharat Mosque, Ahmadiyya mosque in Pedro Abad, Córdoba Province, Spain.
Basharat Mosque is a mosque in Pedro Abad in Cordoba Province with a white exterior and two tall minarets. The building combines traditional Islamic design elements with modern construction techniques and has space for about 275 worshippers in its prayer hall.
The building was constructed in 1982 and was the first purpose-built mosque in Spain after Muslim rule ended in the 15th century. This made it a significant landmark for the return of Islamic presence in the country after centuries of absence.
The mosque serves as the main center for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community across Spain and hosts an annual spiritual gathering. It brings people from the wider region together to strengthen their bonds and worship as one group.
Visitors should arrange guided visits in advance by contacting the mosque, since it is primarily used for daily prayers at set times. The best time to visit depends on the regular prayer schedule, which can be confirmed directly with the staff.
The building was approved and completed during a time when it was unusual in Spain to construct new Muslim places of worship. This demonstrates the significance of the Ahmadiyya community and their successful engagement with local authorities.
