Marawi, Provincial capital in Lanao del Sur, Philippines
Located at an elevation of 710 meters, Marawi extends along Lake Lanao and contains 96 different administrative districts called barangays.
Spanish forces established a settlement in 1639, facing resistance from local Meranaw groups until the area became a municipality in 1907.
The Mindanao State University maintains educational programs focused on preserving Maranao traditions, including traditional house construction techniques and metal crafting.
The city generates annual revenue of 499 million Philippine pesos through local sources and national tax allocations to support municipal services.
The Agus River flows through Marawi, connecting Lake Lanao to Iligan Bay and providing water resources for agricultural activities.
