Prayer Times in Catania, Italy
Prayer times in Catania are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (37.49°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across Italy. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Catania's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Italy. They are drawn from Catania's own coordinates (37.4922°N, 15.0704°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Catania's prayer times are worked out
From Catania, the Qibla is 120° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 2,973 km (1,848 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Catania's own coordinates (37.49°N, 15.07°E), not a national average. That is why Catania's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
Day length is what moves the Catania timetable through the year. With the Muslim World League method, the longest daily fast — Fajr to Maghrib — runs about 16h 39m around June. It eases to 11h 08m by December. That is a 5h 31m swing, set by the city's latitude of 37.49°N. The farther a place sits from the equator, the wider the gap.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Catania come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. Catania sits west of its Rome meridian. The sun peaks about 8 minutes after noon, so Dhuhr today is 1:06 PM. We also publish times for nearby Siracusa, Ragusa and Modica. Each is only a few minutes off Catania's clock.

Prayer times in the land of a thousand prayer halls
Italian Islam is organised from the ground up. Islam has no formal accord (intesa) with the Italian state. Most of the country's roughly 1,200 prayer spaces are converted halls and basements rather than purpose-built mosques. Timetables are set centre by centre. The most widely referenced come from the Grande Moschea di Roma, seat of the Centro Islamico Culturale d'Italia. That is the one Muslim body legally recognised by presidential decree since 1974. This page applies the Muslim World League calculation (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) to this city's own coordinates. Italy's Muslim population is estimated around 2.5-2.9 million, its largest communities Moroccan, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Albanian; clocks follow the EU's March/October shifts.
The Mosque of Rome and Sicily's Arab centuries
The Mosque of Rome was inaugurated in 1995 to Paolo Portoghesi's design, on land the city donated. It is often described as the largest mosque in Western Europe by area. Italy's Islamic history runs deep. Sicily spent over two centuries under Muslim rule. Palermo fell to Aghlabid forces in 831, and served as the capital of the island's emirate until the Norman conquest of 1072. That era shaped Sicilian agriculture, language and cuisine in ways still visible today. Today's communities, from Milan's prayer halls to Palermo's markets, write the next chapter of that long acquaintance.
