The Larabanga Mosque, located in the village of Larabanga, is a beautiful example of Sudanese architectural style. It is the oldest mosque in Ghana and one of the oldest in all of West Africa, earning it the nickname "Mecca of West Africa." The mosque has been restored multiple times since its founding in 1421.
Constructed from West African adobe, the mosque features a pyramidal mihrab (which faces Mecca) and a minaret, both buttressed by twelve unique, bulbous structures with fitted timber elements.
According to local legend, the mosque was built in 1421 by an Islamic trader named Ayuba. After having a dream near a "Mystic Stone" instructing him to build a mosque, he awoke to find its foundations miraculously already in place. Ayuba completed the construction and, following his instructions, was buried nearby. A baobab tree is said to have sprouted from his grave three days later, and its leaves and stem are believed by locals to have healing properties.
The mosque also houses an ancient Quran. Locals believe it was a gift from heaven, given in 1650 to the then-Imam, Yidan Barimah Bramah, in response to his prayers.
