The most famous mosque in Mali is the Great Mosque in the ancient city, Djenné. Though called an ancient city, it does not hold actually ancient edifices or remains but earthen buildings rebuilt in modern times as beforementioned. However, still the structure of this small town demarcated by rivers with approximately 23,000 population is intact, and its close to 2,000 houses mostly retain Malian traditional styles. In 1988 this town was registered with the Unesco World Heritage List as a whole. Above all the Great Mosque located in the center of the town is world renowned as a work epitomizing earthen Islamic architecture.
