Great Mosque of Porto Novo — Attraction in Ouémé Department

Very incredible building and architecture shows just how old it is with the building using Arab Turkic design which lends to its credibility as an old and interesting building visitors can sit around the building but should note that the building is registered as a historic building and any attempt to defame the structure may result to criminal charges, although the mosque is now rarely used due to the newer more modern mosque opening just beside it, a lot of older worshipers still prefer the old mosque as they still feel a sense of attachment to it, there is a folk story about the mosque from locals who say some rich people in the past buried some gold and valuables somewhere in the old mosque but this is just a fairy tale and should be taken lightly, also visitors should take note not to loiter around the mosque during prayer times as the locals consider it disrespectful, in all the mosque show just how advanced Africans at old times were developed with its structural integrity still intact goes to show how far it's architecture was...

Worth the visit to see the contrast of architectures, religion and everything that happens around this place and how everyone lives very peacefully together...

Un bâtiment historique de Porto-Novo... Beaucoup vivent dans la ville sans connaître les édifices inscrits à L'UNESCO et leur histoire. J'invite bon nombre à visiter la ville de Porto-Novo et toutes ces merveilles qui font aussi partie du fleuve des richesses du BENIN, qui n'est pas que berceau du vodoun...

Je me ferai un plaisir d'organiser des visites guidées du BENIN par le biais de mon agence. Bon séjour à vous !
