The Wechiau Mosque is a mosque located in the village of Wechiau in the Upper West region of Ghana.[1][2][3]
Overview
[edit]The mosque was built in a mix of the Sudano-Sahelian and Djenne architectural styles and has similar features to the Larabanga Mosque.[4] It used to have buttresses similar to Sudanic mosques, but only one tower left. The interior had columns that were small and spaced out to support the flat mud roof.[5][6]
