The Al-Andalus Mosque is a striking contemporary Islamic place of worship located in the Ciudad Jardín district of Málaga. Completed in 2014, its architecture draws inspiration from the Moorish heritage of Al-Andalus, featuring horseshoe arches, intricate tilework, and a minaret that echoes the Giralda of Seville. The mosque is not only a religious site but also a cultural center that promotes interfaith dialogue and understanding. Visitors are welcome to explore the prayer hall (outside prayer times), the courtyard with its fountain, and the small garden. The interior is adorned with calligraphy and geometric patterns, creating a serene atmosphere. The mosque serves the local Muslim community and hosts events open to the public, such as lectures and cultural festivals.
