Cotabato City, Administrative center in Mindanao, Philippines.

Located in central Mindanao, Cotabato City spreads across 176 square kilometers of land, with 70 percent of its territory situated below sea level.

The Spanish Empire established control over Cotabato in 1861, transforming Kuta Watu into their capital after constructing a military base in the region.

The Maguindanaon people represent half of the city population, sharing the urban space with Cebuano, Tagalog, and other ethnic communities.

The city contains multiple bus terminals connecting to General Santos and Davao, while serving as the administrative headquarters of the Bangsamoro region.

The Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mosque, standing as the largest Islamic structure in the Philippines, marks the city skyline with its distinctive architecture.
