Abstract

The subject of the article below is an analysis of cultural institutions operating in the territory of the Kingdom of Spain, with particular emphasis on those entities whose activities are dedicated to topics related to Islam and the Muslim world. These include: Casa Árabe, Fundación de Tres Culturas (The Three Cultures Foundation), Al Fanar Foundation, Centro de Cultura Islamica (Islamic Cultural Center), Casa Mediterráneo. In the course of the research, the profiles and main areas of activity of selected institutions were analyzed in order to demonstrate the differences between them. Attention was also paid to the issues of definition and the place of cultural policy issues, both in Spain and on the international arena. The development of cultural policy in Spain is presented in chronological order. It was indicated that the institutions in question had an impact on the Spanish community in order to spread knowledge about Islam and promote Arab creativity. Their function is the influence on Spanish citizens, not to create the religious identity of Muslims.
