VARIOUS OF INTERIOR OF MOSQUEBOBO-DIOULASSO, BURKINA FASO - OCTOBER 14: The Grand Mosque in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso’s second-largest city, stands as a striking example of traditional Sudano-Sahel architecture that endures into the modern day. Built in the late 19th century using local techniques and materials, the mosque was constructed from mud bricks and wood. Its distinctive wooden beams, which jut from the exterior walls, not only enhance its visual appeal but also serve as scaffolding during restoration work. Still open for worship, the mosque remains one of the city’s most visited landmarks. With its historic character and unique design, the Grand Mosque continues to embody and preserve Burkina Faso’s rich cultural heritage.
