The Maluwe Mosque is a mosque located on the Bole road in the West Gonja District in the Savannah region of Ghana. Maluwe is a small village east of Bui National Park.[1]
Overview
[edit | edit source]According to an imam of the mosque, it was built by a Muslim missionary from Mali. He built five adobe mosques as he passed through the region along the way.[2]
The Maluwe Mosque was built with adobe in the Sudano-Sahelian style and has two pyramid-like minarets that are also taller than Bole Mosque but does not reach the heights of Banda Nkwanta Mosque.[3] The mosque has larger parapets than the Larabanga Mosque. It also has two buttresses on the west side which are thicker and box-shaped.[1]
