Djingereyber Mosque

The mosque includes two minarets, twenty-five rows of pillars aligned east-west, three interior courts, and enough room for 2,000 people to pray.

King Hadj Moussa, who had just returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca, is recorded to have ordered the Andalusian architect Abou Ishak to build the Djingareyber Mosque in 1325. Due to the organic character of clay design and its susceptibility to weathering, the mosque has undergone a number of changes since then. Archaeological test pits dug in the main prayer hall in 2009 revealed that the location has been home to at least three different buildings in succession. The majority of the clay decorations on the qibla wall and a few of the pillars could be from the sixteenth century. The location was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1988.
