How Ciutat Vella's prayer times are worked out

From Ciutat Vella, the Qibla is 111° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,158 km (2,584 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Ciutat Vella's own coordinates (41.38°N, 2.17°E), not a national average. That is why Ciutat Vella's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Ciutat Vella timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Ciutat Vella lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 60 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:36 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 20m near June down to 10h 51m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Ciutat Vella 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. We also publish times for nearby Eixample, Barcelona and Sants-Montjuïc. Each is only a few minutes off Ciutat Vella's clock.
