Mosques • Bologna

Bologna, the capital of the Emilia-Romagna region, is home to a growing Muslim community with several prayer places spread across the city and its surroundings. Within the city, three listed mosques serve different neighbourhoods: An-Nur Mosque on Via Torleone in the historic centre, BD Muslim Center in the Bolognina district, and As-Salam Mosque on Via della Casa Buia. These provide accessible options for residents and visitors in various parts of Bologna.

Beyond the city limits, the mapped records show a wider network of Islamic centres in nearby towns and communes. In Modena, about 38 km away, there are multiple prayer places including Moschea di Modena, Centro Culturale Islamico Turco, Moschea Della Rahmah, and Associazione nuova Generazione. Imola, approximately 34 km from Bologna, hosts Casa Della Cultura Islamica di Imola and Moschea imola. Ferrara, around 44 km distant, has several centres such as Centro Di Cultura Islamica Di Ferrara e Provincia, Moschea di Ferrara, Masjid Al-Rayan, and others. Carpi, about 48 km away, features Imam Ali Center, Moschea di Carpi, Lega Dei Centri Culturali Turco E Islamici, and Jamia Madni masjid.

This distribution of prayer places across Bologna and its neighbouring cities reflects the presence of Muslim communities in the region, with the city itself offering a few conveniently located mosques and the surrounding areas providing additional options for those travelling or living in the wider metropolitan area. The listings are based on available mapped records, and while not exhaustive, they offer a useful starting point for locating prayer facilities in and around Bologna.

When visiting any of these mosques or prayer places, it is advisable to check the exact address and contact details beforehand, as opening hours and prayer times may vary. Some centres may have specific entrance arrangements or require prior confirmation for visits. Always verify information directly with the mosque or cultural centre, especially for Friday prayers and special events.
