The San Pedro Sula Mosque, also known as the Islamic Centre of Honduras, is a Sunni mosque and cultural center located in San Pedro Sula, Cortés Department, Honduras. It is one of just two mosques in the country, the other being in Tegucigalpa.[1]
Overview
The mosque was inaugurated in 2018 and serves the Muslim community of San Pedro Sula and surrounding areas.[2] Imam Mohammed, a Pakistani-born clergyman, leads the Friday prayers, which attract a modest weekly attendance of around 30 worshippers.[1]
Covering an area of approximately 250 square metres (2,700 ft2), the mosque was built in an Arabic architectural style and features two towers and a golden-colored dome. The interior is adorned with green carpeting and Quranic inscriptions in gold.[2] The building's exterior is painted sky-blue and partially hidden behind palm trees, blending into its urban surroundings.[1]
