A Gathering in front of the Great Mosque

MR3872 · Mali, West Africa · 1984

The Great Mosque of Djenné (French: Grande mosquée de Djenné, Arabic: الجامع الكبي ر ف ي جينيه) is a large Banco or adobe building that is considered by many architects to be one of the greatest achievements of the Sudano- Sahelian architectural style. The mosque is located in the city of Djenné, Mali, on the flood plain of the Bani River. The first mosque on the site was built around the 13th century, but the current structure dates from 1907. As well as being the centre of the community of Djenné, it is one of the most famous landmarks in Africa. Along with the "Old Towns of Djenné" it was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1988.
