===Mosque of Granada=== {{Main|Granada Mosque}} The new mosque was inaugurated in 2003 on the summit of the neighborhood of Albayzin. The mosque was built near the Church of San Salvador and the Church of San Nicolás. The Church of San Salvador was built on the site of the Great Mosque of Albayzin. The Society for the Return of Islam in Spain purchased the site in 1981, but it took many years for the plans to be approved. The mosque's initial funding was supplied by [[Shaykh Abdalqadir as-sufi al-Murabit|Shaykh 'Abdalqadir as-Sufi al-Murabit]] who envisioned providing Granada's new Spanish Muslim community with a mosque. Additional funding came from Malaysia, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. In 1991 the CIE (''Comunidad Islámica en España'') hired the architect Renato Ramirez Sanchez to design the mosque. In the 1990s, there was a heated debate pertaining to the design of the minaret. Construction eventually began in 2001. The mosque now serves about 500 people.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bush |first=Olga |date=2015 |title=Entangled Gazes: The Polysemy of the New Great Mosque of Granada |journal=Muqarnas |volume=32 |pages=97–134 |doi=10.1163/22118993-00321P07 }}</ref> ====Palace of the Marqués de Salar==== The '''Palace of the Marqués de Salar''' was built in one of the most emblematic streets of Granada, the '''Carrera del Darro''', at number 5.
