The Great Mosque, with its two minarets and the high dome, is located at the Bassette, industrial area of Ravenna, a multi-religious city in northern Italy, characterized by an intense intercultural dialogue. About 5,000 Muslims live downtown and 20,000 in the province. They come from 16 nations and are integrated with the local population.
