Missiri mosque

The Missiri Mosque (French: Mosquée de Missiri) is a former French military community center inspired by sub-Saharan Islamic architecture. It was constructed in 1928–1930 for the Senegalese Tirailleurs based in military camps in Fréjus, in the southern France. Although its appearance evokes that of

a mosque, its purpose and uses remained secular. The building was included in the supplementary inventory of French historic monuments on 18 June 1987.
