Florence Prayer Times

Prayer Times in Florence, Italy

Prayer times in Florence are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (43.78°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.

Florence's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Italy. They are drawn from Florence's own coordinates (43.7792°N, 11.2463°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.

How Florence's prayer times are worked out

From Florence, the Qibla is 124° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,619 km (2,249 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Florence's own coordinates (43.78°N, 11.25°E), not a national average. That is why Florence's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Florence timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Florence lies well west inside its Rome time zone. So the sun peaks about 23 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:21 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 17h 52m near June down to 10h 39m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Florence 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 Campo di Marte, Prato and Pistoia. Each is only a few minutes off Florence's clock.
