Central Mosque of Lisbon, Islamic religious center in Campolide, Portugal.

The Central Mosque spans multiple floors with four minarets and two domes, containing reception halls, a prayer hall, and an auditorium for religious gatherings.

Following the 1970s Arab oil crisis, Portuguese authorities granted construction permission in 1978, leading to the mosque's completion and inauguration in 1985.

The mosque functions as an educational center, providing Arabic language courses and Islamic teachings to both Muslim community members and interested visitors.

The mosque maintains specific visiting hours for non-Muslim guests, requiring modest dress code and removing shoes before entering prayer areas.

The building, designed by architect António Maria Braga, stands as Europe's third largest mosque outside Turkey, representing Portuguese-Islamic architectural integration.
