A large modern mosque at the western end of Marbella, between the town and Puerto Banús, built in the 1980s with Saudi funding. The exterior combines modern construction with Andalusian Islamic decorative motifs — arches, tilework, and a minaret — in a relatively successful attempt to blend the building into its Mediterranean setting. The prayer hall can accommodate several hundred worshippers.
Non-Muslims may visit outside prayer times; check locally for current access arrangements. The mosque is a reminder that Marbella has a substantial Muslim population (North African workers and Gulf tourists), a fact the resort's marketing tends to elide.
