Ismaili Centre Lisbon Celebrates 26 Years as a Community Hub in Portugal
To celebrate the 26th anniversary of its Foundation Ceremony, the Ismaili Centre Lisbon opened its doors to the public for a weekend of guided tours, a creative art exhibition, and unique musical performances. Prince Aly Muhammad and the Mayor of Lisbon were in attendance at the event.
The Open House offered an opportunity for visitors to learn more about the aspirations and architectural influences considered during the design phase of the building and its gardens.
More than just a place of gathering for the Jamat in Portugal, the Ismaili Centre also serves as a meeting point for people from different social and cultural backgrounds, and helps to create bridges between communities. It is also a place for sharing knowledge, engaging in dialogue, and celebrating values such as pluralism.
The Centre seeks, through various initiatives such as lectures, conferences, and exhibitions, not only to express the aspirations and values of the Ismaili Community but also to serve as an active medium in the development of Portuguese society.
