The Basharat Mosque (Spanish: Mezquita Basharat, lit. 'Good News Mosque'; Urdu: مسجد بشارت), also known as Masjid Basharat, is a mosque in Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain. It is the first purpose-built mosque in Spain after centuries of Christian rule.[1]

Jalsa Salana
[edit]Jalsa Salana, the annual gathering of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Spain, is celebrated in Pedro Abad.
Architecture
[edit]The mosque was designed after reminiscences of the White Minaret and Noor Mosque in Qadian.[1]
