Granada

THIS IS, ABOVE ALL, THE CITY OF THE ALHAMBRA. The iconic monument, one of the most visited in the world, is part of the essence of Granada. Here you will not only find one of the largest Islamic heritages in Europe but also a wide range of halal and Muslim-friendly services. However, Granada has many other charms to offer, including its snowy landscapes and romantic atmosphere.

The main mosque of Granada has an emblematic location: in the upper Albaicín, the historic Muslim quarter, with stunning views of the Alhambra and very close to the Mirador de San Nicolás. Its opening in 2003 marked a significant milestone in the city.

It was the first mosque to open in Granada after the end of the Muslim rule in the 15th century. It is in the heart of the city, in the lower part of the Albaicín, near Elvira Street and Gran Vía. It also houses the Foundation for Islamic Culture and Religious Tolerance.
