_Grand Mosque of Agadez

Information

Agadez Mosque is a well-known mosque in Agadez, Tchirozerine Department, Niger. It is the tallest mud-brick building in the entire globe and was constructed of clay.

This major temple in Agadez, which has somewhat distorted shapes, is accompanied by the largest mud-brick minaret ever built, standing at about 27 meters (89 ft). It acts as a compass for residents to navigate the city and, at various points throughout its history, also acted as a watchtower.
