As-Salam Mosque, Sunni mosque in Ñuñoa, Santiago, Chile
As-Salam Mosque is a place of Islamic worship in the Ñuñoa neighborhood with a central prayer hall designed in traditional Islamic style. The building houses community spaces and rooms for religious education.
The building was completed in 1989 and stands as the first Islamic place of worship established on Chilean soil. Its founding marked the beginning of organized Muslim presence in the country.
The mosque serves Santiago's Muslim community as a gathering place for religious ceremonies and social events. People from different backgrounds come here to pray together and maintain their traditions.
The mosque opens daily for five prayer times and is easily accessible in the Ñuñoa district on Avenida Campoamor. Visitors should check with staff ahead of time about current schedules and any special events happening.
Architect William Tapia Chuaqui designed the building by blending Islamic design principles with local Chilean construction techniques. This fusion appears in details like the facade and spatial arrangement.
