Zagreb Mosque

Zagreb Mosque

As an Islamic centre, apart from the masjid, the mosque hosts many functions. At the ground floor there are a conference room, a reading room, offices, a restaurant with a veranda and classrooms for religious education. On the upper floors you can find imams’ apartment and guestrooms. In the basement (kjallari) you can find the madrassas – religious secondary vocational school, now an Islamic high school, a kindergarten and a youth club with a small amphitheater. In accordance with the conceptual design of Džemal Celić, the building is divided by functional diversity. The south volume shapes the mosque, and the north shapes additional contents. They are interconnected by a shallow tract emphasized by a small domed reading room and a spacious terrace access. The mosque layout is rotated about 45 ° in the direction of Mecca, which is mandatory for everyday prayers.
