The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso, built between 1812 and 1832, is a historic mud-brick mosque in Burkina Faso’s second-largest city. Its construction was tied to an alliance between the Kingdom of Sia and Islamic leader Almamy Sidiki Sanou during a conflict with the Kénédougou Kingdom. Featuring two minarets and a prayer hall divided into older and newer sections, the mosque showcases traditional Sudano-Sahelian architecture with projecting wooden beams. Renovations, including a 1983 tin-roofed courtyard, have preserved the structure while maintaining its original character.

Beautiful mosque. A lot of people if you’re white will ask you if you want a tour. Just say polite no and you won’t have any problems
