The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso, located in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, is an impressive example of Sudano-Sahelian architecture. Constructed in the late 19th century, it features distinctive mud-brick walls and wooden beams that protrude from the exterior, serving both structural and aesthetic purposes. The mosque is not only a place of worship but also a cultural landmark, reflecting the rich history and traditions of the region. Its design allows for natural cooling and ventilation, making it well-suited to the local climate.
