Agadez Grand Mosque

Built: commonly dated to 1515, during the period of Songhai influence over Agadez; restoration/rebuilding recorded in 1844.
Height: ~27 m (89 ft); frequently described as the tallest mud-brick minaret. (Note: “tallest” refers to mud-brick minarets/structures and is a recurring description in UNESCO/Wiki/heritage sources.)
UNESCO: The Historic Centre of Agadez was inscribed in 2013 (criteria ii, iii), with the Grand Mosque and its minaret named in the listing’s core ensemble.
Architecture: Earthen construction (adobe/mud-brick) with projecting wooden elements typical of Sudano-Sahelian design; the minaret serves as a landmark in the city’s flat-roofed skyline.
