00:00Are there more mosques than churches in Catalonia?

00:06Claims spread online allege that the Autonomous Community of Catalonia in northeastern Spain

00:12now contains more mosques than churches.

00:15This picture, which appears in posts on X and Instagram, among others,

00:19also says that 120 Catalan schools teach Islam.

00:23The Catalan government's website contains an official religious map of the region,

00:27tracking established places of worship across religions which hold services at least once a year.

00:34Catholic churches are by far the most common type of religious centre in Catalonia,

00:39totalling 5,665 or 78%.

00:43Evangelical or Protestant churches come in second place, with 889 places of worship.

00:49Islam, including mosques, is in third place, with 326 religious centres,

00:54meaning that, no, there aren't more mosques than churches in Catalonia.

00:58The social media posts suggest that the claims originate from Spanish news outlet Eda TV News.

01:04A search of its website takes us to an article about the supposed Islamisation of Catalonia.

01:09It contained a similar quote attributed to Julia Calvet, a politician from the far-right Vox Party.

01:15She says that there are Catalan municipalities with more mosques than churches, such as Salt.

01:20While Salt does have more mosques than Catholic churches,

01:24combining churches from different denominations puts churches on top again.

01:28Calvet also reportedly refers to some 120 schools teaching students an Arabic language and Moroccan culture course.

01:36The programme does exist as per an agreement between Spain and Morocco,

01:39and the Spanish news agency Europa Press reported earlier this year

01:43that 120 public education centres in Catalonia would teach the course between 2024 and 2025.

01:51However, this is a language and culture class,

01:53not an Islam class, as the social media posts claim.
