The Basharat Mosque stands in Pedro Abad, a town in the province of Córdoba, Spain. It belongs to the Ahmadiyya branch of Islam. Mirza Nasir Ahmad laid the foundation stone on 9 October 1980, and Mirza Tahir Ahmad inaugurated the mosque on 10 September 1982, nearly two years later. The building is also known in Spanish as the Mezquita Basharat.
It was the first purpose-built mosque in Spain after centuries of Christian rule. Its design was inspired by the White Minaret and the Noor Mosque in Qadian, India, and it has two minarets.
The mosque is active today and is the center of the Ahmadiyya movement in Spain. It hosts the annual Jalsa Salana, a gathering of the community, and serves as an active place of worship.
