The Grand Mosque of Kong (Missiriba)

Information

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.
