Grande Mosquée

Striking 1893 Sudanese mud-brick mosque with guided tours

Bobo-Dioulasso's Grande Mosquée is a striking example of Sudanese mud-brick architecture, with its conical towers bristling with wooden support beams (torons). Built in 1893, it remains an active place of worship. Guides are available at the entrance and can show you around the interior and explain the construction techniques.
