Matadi Central Mosque

The Matadi Central Mosque is a religious building in Monrovia featuring several minarets and arches that combine Islamic traditions with local West African building elements. The interior is functionally designed with a large prayer area and separate sections for men and women.

The mosque was founded to serve the growing Muslim population of Monrovia and marks an important expansion of Islamic presence in Liberia. It was built to create a dedicated place for the community's religious life and to centralize worship activities.

The mosque brings together Muslims from across the city for daily prayers and Quranic study in a welcoming community space. You can observe families gathering here, especially during the main prayer times when the hall fills with worshippers.

Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the prayer area and should wear modest clothing. Women should cover their hair with a scarf when inside the building.

The building has a community garden behind it where residents grow herbs and vegetables. The harvested produce is regularly distributed to families in need around the neighborhood.
