Prayer Times in Palermo, Italy
Prayer times in Palermo are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (38.12°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.
Palermo's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in Italy. They are drawn from Palermo's own coordinates (38.1166°N, 13.3636°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Palermo's prayer times are worked out
From Palermo, the Qibla is 119° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 3,138 km (1,950 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Palermo's own coordinates (38.12°N, 13.36°E), not a national average. That is why Palermo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Palermo timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Palermo lies well west inside its Rome time zone. So the sun peaks about 15 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:13 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 45m near June down to 11h 06m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Palermo 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 Bagheria, Trapani and Mazara del Vallo. Each is only a few minutes off Palermo'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.
