Replastering of Djingarey Ber Mosque in Timbuktu

The Djingarey Ber Mosque in Timbuktu, constructed in 1325 by Emperor Mansa Musa, is undergoing its annual replastering. This year, the event holds special significance as it marks the mosque's 700th anniversary in 2025.

The mosque is built from banco, a sun-dried earth material, and is recognized as one of the oldest earthen buildings continually in use in Africa. Its distinctive Sahelian architecture led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1989. However, it was added to UNESCO’s List of World Heritage in Danger in 2012 due to damage caused during the occupation of Timbuktu by armed groups.

This year, the event holds special significance as it marks the mosque's 700th anniversary in 2025.

According to Bilal Mahamane Traoré, spokesperson for the traditional masons’ guild, this year's replastering coincides with the mosque's 700th anniversary, underscoring its cultural importance. The event involves the participation of the entire community, including women, youth, and elders, serving as an educational opportunity for the next generation. Issaka Nazoum, president of the Timbuktu Regional Council, highlights the event as both a cultural and social celebration.

Organizers emphasize that combining the annual replastering with the anniversary celebration reinforces the resilience of the mosque. This initiative demonstrates the community’s commitment to preserving their heritage and maintaining the historical integrity of the mosque.
