Freetown Central Mosque

The Freetown Central Mosque features multiple domes and minarets, constructed in traditional West African Islamic architectural style for large congregations.

The mosque, dating from the early twentieth century, stands as one of the two largest Islamic structures in Sierra Leone and remains central to religious life.

The mosque functions as an educational center where local scholars conduct regular classes about Islamic teachings and traditions for community members.

Visitors must wear appropriate clothing when entering the mosque, with separate prayer areas designated for men and women during religious services.

Sierra Leonean presidents, regardless of their religious beliefs, traditionally participate in Muslim prayers at this mosque, demonstrating interfaith respect.
