Located at Europa Point, the southernmost tip of Gibraltar, the King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Mosque is more than just a place of worship; it's a symbol of cultural exchange and architectural beauty. Inaugurated on August 8, 1997, the mosque was a gift to Gibraltar from the late King Fahd of Saudi Arabia. It serves the Muslim community in Gibraltar, which comprises around 4% of the population. The mosque's design incorporates elements of Islamic art and culture, featuring a stunning white marble facade, intricately designed domes, and elegant minarets that rise against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea. The main prayer hall is adorned with nine solid brass chandeliers manufactured in Egypt, with the largest weighing two tons and hanging beneath the central dome. The walls are decorated with imported marble, and the floor is covered by an enormous single-piece woven carpet. Visitors are welcome to explore the mosque and its peaceful gardens, enjoying panoramic views of the Strait of Gibraltar and the African coastline. The mosque also houses classrooms, a conference hall, a library, and other facilities, making it a center for religious education and community activities. The Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque is not only the southernmost mosque in continental Europe but also one of the largest mosques in a non-Muslim country.
