Aside from the Provincial Capitol of Sulu, another prominent landmark in the town of Jolo, the capital of the province, is Masjid Tulay situated at the town center.
Also called as Tulay Central Mosque, Masjid Tulay is considered the oldest mosque in the Province of Sulu. It was established in 1884 and has been a witness to many historical events. It was destroyed in 1974 because of war between the government and the Moro National Liberation Front and was rebuilt in 2001.
Masjid Tulay is also the biggest mosque in Sulu. It can accommodate up to 5,000 people.
I was lucky to have traveled to Sulu and seen Masjid Tulay personally last week, thanks to the invitation of DOT-ARMM.
Masjid Tulay is definitely one of the grandest mosques i've seen.
