Ghana National Mosque

Ghana National Mosque, Islamic worship center in Accra, Ghana

The Ghana National Mosque is an Ottoman Revival mosque in Kanda, Accra, with a broad central dome ringed by cascading half-domes and three slender minarets with conical caps. Its exterior is clad in Carrara marble. Inside, red-and-white segmental arches frame a hall lit by two multi-tiered brass chandeliers and tall arched windows; green prayer carpets cover the floor.

Construction began in 2012 under the Ghanaian Muslim community but stalled for nearly a decade for lack of funds. The land at Kanda was granted in 1995 by Jerry John Rawlings to replace a mosque demolished for Rawlings Park. The Turkish Hudai Foundation and Turkish government financed the US$10 million project, and Nana Akufo-Addo opened it on 16 July 2021.

The mosque functions as a central gathering point for Islamic celebrations, including regular prayers, Eid festivals, and educational programs for the Muslim community.

The place of worship sits in the Greater Accra Region and requires visitors to wear appropriate clothing and respect prayer times. It helps to check visiting hours beforehand, as the grounds may have limited access during prayers.

The land was given in 1995 by Jerry John Rawlings to replace a mosque he had demolished to build Rawlings Park; the project then stalled for nearly a decade for lack of funds. The mosque is said to be a replica of the Blue Mosque, and its four minarets reach about 65 metres, visible from many parts of Accra.
