As-Salam Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السلام, lit. 'Mosque of Peace'; Spanish: Mezquita As-Salam) is a Sunni mosque located in La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia.

Overview

[edit]

The mosque was established in 2006 by local Muslim converts and immigrants from the Middle East and South Asia.[1][2][3][4]

The mosque's recognition by Bolivian authorities signaled greater religious freedom and visibility for Muslims in the country.[5]
