Southern Spain is home to the Islamic holy place known as the Great Mosque of Granada, which was finished building in 2003 in the city of Granada inside the autonomous community of Andalusia. At the mosque's Center for Islamic Studies, visitors can attend lectures, learn Arabic, view exhibits, and enroll in classes focused on Islam and the Islamic heritage of Spain.
It houses a library stocked with books and videos about Islam in Arabic, English, and Spanish as well as a service center for the poor and Muslims in general. It may be found at the plaza named after Saint Nicholas in the old area of Albaicin. Separate and distinct from one another is the garden, the prayer room (which is the mosque itself), and the Center for Islamic Studies that make up the Great Mosque of Granada.
You can see the Alhambra on top of Mount Sabika, which is visible from the garden due to its vantage point. The Sierra Nevada mountains can be seen in the distance. Pine, olive, pomegranate, orange, and lemon trees stand amongst other Mediterranean plant species in this garden, which also features two tile fountains.
