The King Fahd Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque [Buenos Aires / Argentina]
- 5 years ago
The King Fahd Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque
With its broad expanses, well-tended lawn, minarets, and palm trees, the Centro Cultural Islámico brings a little bit of the Middle East to Buenos Aires. Overlooking the polo grounds, this enormous structure, with its severely modern architecture that becomes simply radiant in strong sunlight, is the largest Islamic center and mosque in all of Latin America. At night, the two minarets are lit and cast a striking mezquita rey fahd argentina contrast with the surrounding apartment complexes behind it. The project began under the influence of former President Carlos Ménem, who (though Catholic at the time of his presidency) is of Syrian Muslim descent. Construction began in 1998, and it was opened in 2000. The center is open for free tours in Spanish and sometimes in English, Tuesday and Thursday at noon.
