Granada Mosque, Islamic center in Albaicin district, Granada, Spain.
The Granada Mosque is a house of prayer in the Albaicín district that blends Islamic architectural elements with contemporary design. The building houses a prayer hall, garden, library, conference area, and bookshop that together create a space for worship and learning.
The building was completed in 2003 and stands as the first Islamic house of prayer built in Granada since the Catholic Monarchs' conquest in 1492. This construction marked the return of Islamic worship to the city after more than five centuries.
The mosque serves Granada's Muslim community as a gathering place for daily prayers and Quranic study. Visitors can observe people from different backgrounds coming together for worship and educational activities.
The mosque is easily accessible from the Albaicín district and has sufficient space for visitors throughout. It is helpful to check opening times beforehand, as prayer times may affect access to certain areas.
Construction funding came from multiple international sources, including the Emir of Sharjah and King Hassan II of Morocco. This international backing shows how the mosque holds meaning beyond Granada's borders.
