Grand Mosquée de Conakry
Grand Mosquée de Conakry is the world's fourth biggest mosque. Separate seating is provided for men and women in the mosque. Every year, a large number of other individuals visit the mosque. In such situation, there is sufficient space in the mosque for more worshippers to enter and pray to God. One aspect of the mosque that is lacking is adequate maintenance, as it represents a cultural treasure of the area.
