Larabanga Mosque: the Mecca of West Africa

Built in the Sudano-Sahelian architectural style, Larabanga Mosque is the oldest mosque in Ghana and one of the oldest mosques in West Africa. This mud-brick mosque takes its name from the village where it is located, but it is also referred to as the “Mecca of West Africa.” Larabanga Mosque dates back to 1421, and today, it is on the World Monuments Fund’s List of 100 Most Endangered Sites.

the mosque in the village of larabanga, ghana. there's some differing theories over when exactly the mosque was built and by who, but it's thought to date back to 1421. this makes it the oldest in west africa.

one common story of its founding goes that it was built by a muslim trader named ayuba, who had a dream instructing him to build a mosque. when he awoke, he found the foundations were already laid, and he built the rest. his remains are thought to be buried under the baobab tree nearby.

the mosque is built in the sudanese architecture style, one of a few similar styles associated with grassland regions in west africa south of the sahara desert. the wood jutting out of the walls are support beams.
