Northern Region - Part 4

Mole National Park

Larabanga Mosque
Some of us made a short trip to Larabanga mosque while we were staying at Mole NP. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. The mosque was built in the late 1400s, which makes it the oldest mosque in Ghana, and the architecture is very unique, to say the least. It is made of mud and sticks, but looks quite nice. It has withstood the test of time and is still being used by the people of the town today as a mosque. The town of Larabanga is 100% Muslim.
