Grande Mosquée de Porto Novo (The Grand Mosque)3D Model
After the abolition of slavery in Brazil in 1888, many formerly enslaved people returned to Africa and some re-settled in Benin and neighboring regions. These returnees and their present-day descendants, who settled in Porto-Novo, were and are more commonly called “Agudas,” or “Afro-Brazilians.” The Grand Mosque, built between 1906 and 1912, is an example of a marvel of Aguda architecture.
