Built from scratch, it is a unique example of this type of architecture in Portugal, having been inspired by the principles and traditions of Islam. The Ismaili Centres are symbolic landmarks of the presence and the core values of the Ismaili Muslim Community throughout the world. Through their design and function, they reflect a spirit of humility, vision, friendship, and dialogue. Members of the Ismaili Muslim Community are active in civil society, working in various fields and contributing their time, knowledge,e and material resources for the betterment of the community and societies among which they live, using these spaces to facilitate the promotion of cultural, educational, and social programmes.
