Basharat Mosque
The foundation stone was laid on October 9, 1980 by Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the Caliphate of worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. It is the first purpose-built mosque since the end of Muslim rule at the end of the 15th century. It was inaugurated on 10 September 1982 by the fourth head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Mirza Tahir Ahmad. The mosque is the centre of Ahmadiyya-Movement in Spain.
Jalsa Salana, the annual gathering of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Spain, is celebrated in Pedro Abad.
