The Great Mosque of Djenné, located in Djenné, Mali, is an iconic example of Sudano-Sahelian architecture. Constructed in 1907 on the site of an earlier mosque dating back to the 13th century, the structure is renowned for its unique adobe construction and large, protruding wooden beams, which not only add to its aesthetic appeal but also serve as scaffolding for annual repairs. This mosque, one of the largest mud-brick buildings in the world, is central to the community of Djenné and plays a vital role in both religious and social life.
