The Kong Mosque, also known as the Grand Mosque of Kong, or Missiriba, is the earliest sign of the Islamization of the inhabitants of the Northern Ivory Coast. It was constructed in neo-Sudanese style using mud and logs, and it continues to serve as a place of worship and gathering until now.

Although the precise year of foundation is unknown, certain texts indicate that Kong had multiple mosques, including the Grand Mosque, by the year 1741.

The major central room in Sudanese mosques is a prayer hall, to which is added the mihrab, which is situated in the minaret tower and faces Mecca.

Men pray to the East and women to the West in most prayer rooms, which are typically rectangular or square in shape. Women also have a separate private entrance from men.

The facades of mosques, which are typically blind, are distinguished by the presence of buttresses and minarets, and from the walls sprout the supporting woods that form a sort of curious decoration. The mosques were constructed using mud bricks, which were created by mixing the earth with small pebbles.

The building is made from mud brick techniques consolidated with strands offering a compact architectural uniqueness adapted to the relatively rainy climate of the region.

The interior, which is extremely chilly compared to the heat outside and has four low apertures, is accessible. The floor is covered with fine sand and rugs for prayer.

A decree of April 20, 1988 classifies the mosque as a historical monument. It was also declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021.
