Religious, Spiritual sights in Conakry

  1. A

    Grande Mosquée

    Financed primarily by Saudi Arabia and inaugurated in 1984, the impressive Grande Mosquée has an inner hall capable of accommodating 10,000 worshippers. Although visitors are not usually allowed inside, you can inquire at the Islamic Centre next door about arranging a tour. Sekou Touré's grave is in a small gazebo on the grounds.

  2. B

    Cathédrale Sainte-Marie

    Not as impressive as the mosque, Conakry's yellow and red Cathédrale Sainte-Marie is nevertheless a beautiful building. Behind the Cathedral is the Palais Présidentiel.
