The Grand Mosque of Dakar, located in the heart of Senegal's capital, is one of the most prominent religious landmarks in the country. Completed in 1964, the mosque exhibits a blend of Islamic architectural styles with significant Moroccan influence, reflecting the historical ties between Senegal and Morocco. Its striking minaret, which stands tall above the city's skyline, serves as a key feature of the structure. The mosque not only functions as a place of worship but also as a center for Islamic education and cultural activities.
