The Moschea di Roma stands in the north of the city at the foot of Monte Parioli, on Via della Moschea. According to the record it was built in 1995 to a design by Paolo Portoghesi, in a postmodern architectural style. Its central prayer hall can hold about 2,500 worshippers, and the mosque is counted among the largest outside the Muslim-majority countries.
The building is the seat of the Centro Culturale Islamico d'Italia (Islamic Cultural Centre of Italy). It is therefore not only a place of worship but also a gathering point offering cultural and social services to Sunni and Shia Muslims alike. Weddings, funeral ceremonies, Quranic exegesis sessions, conferences and similar religious events are held there.
