Malian architecture

Malian architecture is characterized by its rich blend of traditional and Islamic influences, particularly seen in structures like the Great Mosque of Djenné, built from mud bricks and featuring striking minarets. This type of architecture often emphasizes community and spirituality, with buildings designed to be harmonious with the environment. The use of local materials and techniques, such as adobe construction, showcases a deep connection to the region's culture. Malian architecture reflects the region's history, artistic expression, and adaptability to the Sahelian climate, making it a vital part of West Africa’s architectural heritage.
