Djinguereber Mosque
The Djinguereber Mosque is the great mosque of Timbuktu in Mali, a landmark of earthen Sudano-Sahelian architecture. Tradition credits its building to Mansa Musa after his return from pilgrimage in the 1320s, to designs by the Andalusi poet-architect Abu Ishaq al-Sahili, and it was rebuilt and enlarged in the 16th century. It forms part of the Timbuktu World Heritage Site.
