The Basharat Temple (Spanish: Temple Basharat; the name means “good news”) or Temple Basharat is a Temple in Pedro Abad, Córdoba, Spain. The foundation stone was laid by the then head of worldwide Ahmadiyya Community, Mirza Nasir Ahmad on October 9, 1980. It is the first purpose-built mosque since the end of Muslim rule at the end of the 15th century. It was inaugurated on 10 September 1982 by the fourth head of Ahmadiyya Community, Mirza Tahir Ahmad. The Temple is the centre of Ahmadiyya-Movement in Spain.[1][2][3]
