Mosquée de Tsingoni, Mosque in Tsingoni, Mayotte, France.
The Tsingoni Mosque features coral stone walls, a flat roof designed for rainwater collection, and a minaret added during renovations in 1994.
Built in 1538 under Sultan Ali ben Mohamed's direction, archaeological excavations revealed religious activities on this site dating back to the 13th century.
The mosque combines Swahili architectural elements with Islamic traditions, reflecting the diverse cultural influences present in the Indian Ocean region.
The religious structure underwent a €2 million renovation program starting in 2019 to preserve its structural integrity and accommodate increasing numbers of worshippers.
The mihrab, indicating the direction of Mecca, represents one of the oldest preserved Islamic architectural features in French territory.
