Zagreb Central Mosque

Beautiful location. My brother in-law was able to pray here during his visit to see me and my wife. I didn't go inside but, I dropped him off and picked him up. He was pleased with his prayers. Perfect.

Positioned on the southeast edge of the city of Zagreb is the massive Zagreb Mosque & Islamic Center (Zagrebačka džamija i Islamski centar). After the last mosque in Zagreb was de-consecrated in 1948, the city's Muslim community went for many decades without any significant house of worship, which resulted in many within this community making petitions to the government of Zagreb to allow one to be built. After more than 20 years, a resolution was found and permission was granted to create a large scale mosque complex for Zagreb. Construction on this project, done by the Zagreb firm "Tehnika", began in 1981 and lasted six years, being unveiled to the pubic in 1987. The central dome of the mosque departs wildly from traditional mosque architecture, with it instead crafted in a highly modernist style characterized by three seashell-like roof sections folding together in a very elegant and shapely manner. Next to the dome is a towering minaret spire reaching 51m tall. The work was designed by Sarajevo architect Džemal Čelić, with assistance by Mirza Gološ. Artwork within the mosque was executed by famous Bosnian calligrapher Ešref Kovačević. In addition to the mosque, within this complex are also an Islamic school, a cultural center, libraries, and residential facilities.

Nice and CLEAN. I was surprised to find a real mosque with a minaret and everything else. Great!

Very Nice place and good food in the halal restaurant!

A wonderful mosque. Also have space for sisters. Jumma is at 1315 in winter months. There is also a massive car park too. Closest tram stop is about 5 to 7 mins walking distance away. They also have a restaurant and their food is nice too. They sell hot food, drinks, hot drinks and dessert. The restaurant accept card or cash however I would advise you to take cash. When in the restaurant, take your seat then call the waiter to take your order.
