The Bahá'í House of Worship in Tiapapata, 8 km from Apia, Samoa, was dedicated on September 1, 1984, having been completed at a cost of $6,500,000. It serves as the Mother Temple of the Pacific Islands. The temple was designed by Hossein Amanat, and was dedicated by Malietoa Tanumafili II, the reigning "O le Ao o le Malo" of Samoa (1913–2007) and the world's first Bahá'í head of state. Its 30-meter domed structure is open to the public for individual prayer, commemoration of Baha'i holy days, and weekly devotional meetings. The structure is completely open to the island breezes.
