Little mosque of Kong

The Little Mosque of Kong exhibits traditional Sudanese architectural elements with wooden scaffolding and earthen construction techniques specific to northern Côte d'Ivoire.

The mosque dates back to the era when traders and craftsmen from the Empire of Mali introduced Sudanese architectural styles to the region during the 14th century.

This religious structure functions as an active place of worship for the local Muslim community while representing the fusion of West African building methods.

Visitors need to remove their shoes before entering the mosque premises and women must wear head coverings according to Islamic customs.

The structure features specific construction methods using local materials that allow natural ventilation through the walls during high temperatures.
