Sankoré Madrasah
Sankoré Madrasa is one of three medieval mosques and centres of learning located in Timbuktu, Mali. Founded in the 14th or early 15th century, the Sankoré mosque went through multiple periods of patronage and renovation under both the Mali Empire and the Songhai Empire until its decline following the Battle of Tondibi in 1591. The mosque developed into an Arabian madrasa.
