Gaddafi Mosque, Islamic mosque in Dodoma, Tanzania

The Gaddafi Mosque structure stands as the second largest mosque in East Africa, featuring two domes and a minaret in pink color.

The World Islamic Call Society funded the construction of the mosque, which was inaugurated by President Jakaya Kikwete in 2010 at a cost of 5 million dollars.

The mosque serves as a central gathering point for Islamic worship in Tanzania's capital, incorporating architectural elements from Middle Eastern religious buildings.

The mosque houses prayer spaces and community areas that can accommodate 3,000 worshippers, making it the largest Islamic facility in Tanzania.

The construction of this mosque marked a period of strong diplomatic relations between Tanzania and Libya during Muammar Gaddafi's leadership.
