Mosquée de Palerme, Sunni mosque in Capo district, Palermo, Italy.
The mosque occupies a former deconsecrated church of San Paolino dei Giardinieri, featuring a single nave, main chapel, and four side chapels.
The building underwent transformation in 1990 after Cardinal Salvatore Pappalardo initiated the transfer of the church to the Sicilian Region for Muslim worship.
The mosque serves approximately 70 practicing Tunisian residents in Palermo and connects with the broader Muslim community of 5,000 members in the province.
The Tunisian government manages the mosque through its consulate in Palermo, coordinating with the Islamic Cultural Association for religious activities.
The structure was selected for conversion due to its favorable orientation toward Mecca, requiring minimal architectural modifications to serve as a mosque.
