Bobo Dioulasso Grand Mosque
This mosque in Burkina Faso is over a century old. It has similar structural designs like the Djinguereber Mosque in Timbuktu.
The clay mosque’s protruding timbers were a deliberate design to make room for workers to re-plaster the building with more clay with time.
The building which represents traditional Sudano-Sahelian architecture has undergone some renovations and was initially built with only clay and timber. Now cement has been introduced in its re-plastering.
