The Great Mosque of Kong (Ivory Coast). HUMANKIND, my premium, limited-edition, museum-quality standard book featuring over 200 large-format photos. Available here: https://robertopazziphoto.com The Great Mosque of Kong is one of the most important historical monuments in Côte d'Ivoire, located in the northern part of the country, which was once a major center of trade and Islamic learning. The mosque was built in the early modern period, around the fifteenth or sixteenth century, and reflects the strong influence of Islam in the region. The building is made mainly of earth and wood, using traditional construction techniques. Its architecture is typical of the Sudano Sahelian style, with thick walls, wooden beams projecting from the facade, and tall towers that give the mosque a powerful and balanced appearance. These wooden elements are not only decorative but also help with maintenance. The mosque of Kong is a symbol of cultural exchange, religion, and history, showing how local traditions and Islamic culture blended over centuries in West Africa.
