Suggested Duration: 1 hours

The Djinguereber Mosque, a prominent learning center in Timbuktu, Mali, was constructed in 1327 and forms part of the historic University of Timbuktu. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988, its design reflects Saharan and traditional African architectural influences, contrary to earlier attributions to Andalusi architect Abu Ishaq Al Sahili. Built primarily from earth, organic materials, and limestone reinforcements, the mosque features three inner courts, two minarets, and a prayer hall accommodating 2,000 worshippers. Its structure exemplifies West African earthen architecture.

Another site to visit when in Timbuktu or Tombouctou as known to the locals in the north of Mali. My guitar instructor said he thought Timbuktu was a title of a song and never thought if it as a place until I mentioned it actually exists.
