The Djinguereber Mosque was built in the historical city of Timbuktu, West Africa, in 1327. The Djinguereber Mosque is constructed completely in mud brick and is a perfect example of earthen architecture. The method of construction required layer upon layer of wet soil to be applied to limestone rocks or bricks, which was the most durable and cheapest form of construction.
Amazing Fact: According to sources, Abu Es Haq es Saheli (the designer of the Mosque) was paid 200 kg of gold by the then Emperor of Mali.
