Summary

Description
Français : Grande Mosquée de Porto-Novo

Peu après son arrivée sur le trône en 1848, le roi Sodji. devant la multiplicité des groupements de musulmans dans la ville, désigna un imam comme chef spirituel unique de toute la communauté et lui attribua, à proximité du palais royal, un terrain pour la construction d’une mosquée pouvant regrouper les croyants.

Une première mosquée fut édifiée sur ce site vers 1880. Son voisinage dans ce centre commercial avec les compagnies anglaises John Holt et John Walkden fut une des causes de sa reconstruction sur un autre site : les employés européens de ces maisons de commerce se plaignirent au roi de la grande gêne que leur causaient les appels du muezzin et sollicitèrent le déplacement de la mosquée.
