Grand Mosque of Conakry, Islamic center in Conakry, Guinea
The Grand Mosque of Conakry features four minarets with light blue tops and five domes, including one larger central dome that dominates the structure.
King Fahd of Saudi Arabia funded the construction of this mosque in 1982 under the leadership of Guinea's First President Ahmed Sékou Touré.
The mosque gardens contain the Camayanne Mausoleum, where notable figures like Samori Ture, Sékou Touré, and Alfa Yaya rest in their tombs.
The mosque accommodates 12,500 worshippers, with 2,500 spaces for women on the upper level and 10,000 for men on the ground floor.
In 2009, the mosque's esplanade became the site where 58 victims of the September 28 massacre were laid, marking a significant moment in Guinea's history.
