The architecture of Mali is a distinct subset of Sudano-Sahelian architecture indigenous to West Africa. It comprises adobe buildings such as the Great Mosque of Djenné or the University of Timbuktu. It can be found all over the Sahel region of Africa. Malian architecture developed during the Ghana Empire, which founded most of Mali's great cities. They then flourished in West Africa's two greatest civilisations the Mali Empire and the Songhai Empire.Mali is located in West Africa, holding multiple different cultural and ethnic groups. In the current day, the vast majority of the population, three quarters, live rural areas, outside of cities, leading individuals to subside off of farming. The majority of Malian buildings hold little architectural importance due to their rural and survivalist nature, but within the population centers of Djenné, Bamako, and Timbuktu great architectural feats in what is known as Sudano-Sahelian architecture exist, mainly found within the Great Mosque of Djenné and palaces. Sudano-Sahelian architecture takes great influence from Muslim culture and West-African culture, forming a blend of cultures within Mali. Outside of local culture, Mali has a deeply rooted history of colonialism, resulting in French influence. Under French colonization, the French took control of current culture. French architecture can be found all throughout Mali, notably seen in the existence-of multiple large towers of the current day Great Mosque of Djenné.
