Larabanga Mosque
Referred to as the 'Mecca of West Africa', Larabanga Mosque was built in 1421 CE in the iconic Sudano-Sahelian architectural style, making it the oldest mosque in Ghana and one of the oldest in West Africa. Constructed from mud, reed, and timber wattle with white lime wash, the mosque is famous for its ancient holy Quran, mystical foundation story involving Islamic trader Ayuba, and sacred legends of miraculous overnight wall repairs, divine intervention during colonial road construction, and guardian spirits protecting the village.
