Missiri mosque, Military mosque and community center in Fréjus, France
The Missiri mosque features a square floor plan with four wings, a central courtyard, and external turrets constructed from reinforced concrete with red plaster coating.
Built between 1928 and 1930, Captain Abdel Kader Mademba initiated this construction for Senegalese Tirailleurs stationed at military camps in southern France.
The name Missiri originates from Bambara language, reflecting the connection between French military forces and West African colonial troops during the early 20th century.
Located at 112 Rue du Malbousquet, this heritage building now functions as part of the Museum of the Navy of Fréjus under French Ministry of Defense management.
The interior walls contain unfinished murals depicting scenes of Senegalese soldiers, marking its original purpose as a secular community center rather than religious space.
