Travel Guide Sorobango

About thirty kilometers northeast of Bondoukou, the locality of Sorobango has the distinction of housing a centuries-old mosque, built in the middle of the eighteenth century after the village was Islamized by Karanogoman Ouattara, son of the then imam of Kong. It is said that God answers the prayers of believers here better than elsewhere because it is the pious souls of the ancestors of this small village who raise them to him. A religious building of the Sahelian type, this one testifies with brilliance to the ingenuity of an ancestral architectural art that defies time, nourishing the collective memory of the local populations
