Moschea di Segrate

The Mosque of Segrate

The Mosque of Segrate (in Italian: Moschea di Segrate), also known as Mosque al-Rahmàn or Mosque of the Merciful, is a Muslim mosque in Milan, Italy, located on the border to Segrate and the Milano 2 suburb. It was the first mosque with a dome and minaret to be built in Italy after the demolishment of the last mosques in Lucera in the 14th century. The mosque opened on May 28, 1988, and it has been, ever since, Milan's most important mosque and the second most important mosque in Italy after that of Rome.^[1] Nearby the mosque is a small Muslim cemetery.

The mosque depends on the cultural association "Muslim Centre for Milan and Lombardy", which publishes one of the most important Muslim magazines in Italian language, Il messaggero dell'Islam ("The Messenger of Islam").
