Itinerary and highlights
Visit the first mosque built in 1982 in Laranjeiro (South Tagus Islamic Community), followed a year later by the small but impressive Aicha Siddika mosque in Odivelas.
The Central Mosque of Lisbon (Portuguese: Mesquita Central de Lisboa) is the main mosque of Lisbon, Portugal, serving the capital city's Islamic community. The building was designed by architects António Maria Braga and João Paulo Conceição; its external features include a minaret and a dome. The mosque contains reception halls, a prayer hall and an auditorium. The Central Mosque has formed a council to provide financial and others services to members of the local Muslim community.
Although permission to build the center was requested in 1966, it was not granted until 1978 after the 1973 oil crisis through which the Arab oil-producing nations gained increasing economic and political status. The structure was finally inaugurated in 1985.
The Belém Tower (Torre de Belém) was built between 1514 and 1520 in a Manuelino style by the Portuguese architect and sculptor Francisco de Arruda. It was classified as a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO.
Constructed on the northern bank of the Tagus River, this tower was used to defend the city. Years later, it was transformed into a lighthouse and customs house. It is situated very close to the Jerónimos Monastery.
Parque Eduardo VII has lovely views down in to central Lisbon and the River Tagus from the top of its slope
