Suraya Mosque

The Suraya Mosque is a house of worship featuring a 10-meter minaret and architectural elements that blend Islamic and Moorish traditions with local styles. The building shows this mixing through its decorative details and overall structure.

This building was completed in 1989 and was the first mosque in Mexico built specifically for Islamic worship. The project followed several years of planning and construction by the growing community.

This mosque serves as a gathering space for Shia Muslim families in the community. It reflects the presence of people with Middle Eastern roots who have built their lives in this region over several generations.

The space welcomes visitors with an open-door approach to learn about the building and prayer practices. Plan your visit thoughtfully, as prayer times may affect access to certain areas.

Before this building was constructed, about 35 descendants of immigrants gathered in a makeshift meeting house beginning in 1983. This early group laid the groundwork for what would later become the mosque.
