The Mamelles Lighthouse is a strategically important lighthouse in the suburbs of Dakar, Senegal's capital. It is located near Cap Vert, Africa's westernmost point. It has been regarded as "one of the world's major lighthouses, guiding sailors around the western tip of Africa" since its completion in 1864.

It's atop the highest of the Deux Mamelles, a pair of notable hills in Ouakam, a Dakar neighborhood, 4 kilometers southeast of Almadies and 9 kilometers northwest of Dakar on the Cap-Vert peninsula.

A 16-meter cylindrical tower is affixed to the seaward side of a two-story building to make up the totally white lighthouse. The machine room, which houses a generator and a battery backup system, is located on the first level. The watch room is located on the second floor and is used by the duty keepers during the night. The lantern room is reached through a spiral staircase, which houses the Barbier, Benard, and Turenne 2nd order Fresnel lens, which floats in a mercury bath. It is lit with a 1000-watt halogen lamp that runs on 220 volts alternating current. At a focal height of 120 meters, the light produces a white flash every five seconds. It is one of Africa's most powerful ships, with a nominal range of 31 nautical miles.

The light, which was originally powered by oil, is now powered by electricity, but it is still manned because it is not automated. The lighthouse is open to the public, with lighthouse keepers providing guided tours. Panoramic views of the entire peninsula may be seen from the lantern gallery, including Almadies, N'Gor, Ouakam, and the African Renaissance Monument on the second of the Deux Mamelles hills.

The Cathedrale du Souvenir Africain de Dakar is Dakar's largest church and the archdiocese's seat. It's in the Dakar-Plateau district, on Boulevard de la République.

The architect Charles-Albert Wulffleff drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including neo-Sudanese style towers, Byzantine cupolas, terraces, and caryatids adorned with the features of young Fulani girls. African elements (sudanese pink sandstone, Tunisian marble, Gabonese solid wood, Ouagadougou carpets) are mixed with granite slabs from Brittany and bronze ornaments produced by Father Brottier's orphans in Auteuil.

The heart of the structure, in the shape of a Greek cross, is occupied by a large cupola lighted by twenty windows. Three of the cross's arms are extended by porticoes. The fourth chapel is occupied by the choir, which is encircled by an ambulatory that leads to five chapels.

The Mosque of Divinity is a mosque in Ouakam, Senegal, that was erected in 1997. It is a two-minareted construction. Because the mosque is located near the Corniche-Ouest, it has a view of the Atlantic Ocean.

Mohamed Gorgui Seyni Guèye was the one who came up with the idea for the mosque. In 1973, he came up with the concept. The real structure, however, was erected by Cheikh Ngom and didn't finish until 1997. During construction, no money was paid to anyone.

The Divinity Mosque is one of the city's most notable architectural achievements, and it is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Senegal. Non-Muslims are not permitted to enter the hallowed edifice, however they are permitted to photograph its façade and visit the nearby streets and bazaar. The neighboring beach is ideal for snorkeling and surfing.

One of Gorée's two churches is the Saint-Charles Borromée church, which is located in the heart of the island of Gorée (Senegal) on the route du Chevalier de Boufflers. This church is dedicated to Charles Borromeo, the reforming archbishop of Milan and Italian cardinal, as are other churches in Vienna, Antwerp, and Rome.

The ancient church was torched by soldiers on Christmas Eve in 1799, during the English recapture of the island, and the Catholics of Gorée were left without a church until the construction of this current structure. The signares of Gorée financed it in 1830. Meanwhile, the signare Anna Colas Pépin's house - daughter of Nicolas Pépin and niece of Anne Pépin – serves as a temporary place of worship for the island's Catholics. Weddings and baptisms are held there until the new church is completed.

Every year, the patronal feast of Gorée is celebrated in the church on November 4th, or the following Sunday if it is not a Sunday.

Touba's Great Mosque is a mosque located in Touba, Senegal. Sheikh Ahmad Bamba founded it in 1887, and it was completed in 1963. Sheikh Ahmad Bamba died in 1927 and is buried within the mosque grounds. His family has been in charge of the mosque since his abduction. With a capacity of 7,000 people, it is the city's largest structure and one of Africa's largest mosques, and it is one of the most beautiful historical sites in Senegal. The Grand Magal of Touba is a place of pilgrimage. It is significant in Sufism because it is the home of the Mouride Brotherhood, a Sufi order.

The mosque is 100 meters in length and 80 meters in width. There are seven minarets, three huge domes, eleven smaller domes, and two ablution chambers on the structure. The central minaret stands at a height of 96 meters (315 ft).

The mausoleum of Sheikh Ahmad Bamba's sons, the Mouride order's caliphs, is located close to the mosque. A library with 160,000 books, the Caliph's official audience hall, a sacred "Well of Mercy," and a cemetery are all located in the heart of the holy city.

Lamp Fall is another name for the Great Minaret of the Great Mosque of Touba, which was called after Sheikh Ibrahima Fall by the second Mouride caliph (the founder of the Baye Fall community).
