Mezquita de Tórtoles, Ancient mosque in Tórtoles, Tarazona, Spain
The Tórtoles Mosque contains a single nave divided into three sections covered by a gabled roof supported by pointed diaphragm arches.
During the 15th century, Tórtoles had a Muslim community of 2000 people, making this mosque one of the last Islamic buildings in the Iberian Peninsula.
The discovery of Arabic inscriptions in 2020 within the wooden ceiling revealed Quran verses and secular poetry that survived through centuries.
The mosque, located in the Zaragoza province, connects to other regional attractions including Veruela Monastery and Moncayo Natural Park within 22 minutes.
The eastern wall preserves the original mihrab with its horseshoe arch, a fundamental element that indicates the direction of prayer in Islamic architecture.
