Masjid Al-Dahab, Islamic mosque in Quiapo district, Manila, Philippines
The Masjid Al-Dahab features a large golden dome measuring 12 meters in diameter and extends 10 meters in height above the main prayer hall.
Construction of the mosque began in 1976 under First Lady Imelda Marcos's supervision, anticipating a visit from Libyan leader Muammar al-Gaddafi, who never arrived.
The mosque incorporates geometric patterns and serpentine motifs from Maranao, Maguindanao, and Tausug art forms, reflecting the diversity of Filipino Muslim traditions.
Located near Carriedo Station on LRT Line 1, the mosque welcomes 22,000 worshippers and requires visitors to remove shoes and wear modest clothing.
The original minaret was removed due to structural concerns, leading to a global fundraising effort of 12 million pesos for its reconstruction.
