Abstract (in English)
Mali is a big country both in terms of area and cultural diversity. Old land of history, brilliant civilizations and rich cultures, Mali conceals an earthen architectural heritage that includes Djenné as a remarkable example. Djenne is the chief town of the the area that has the same name; it is located 130 km southwest of Mopti (the regional capital) and about 570 km northeast of Bamako (the capital of Mali). Djenné is one of the the oldest cities in sub-Saharan Africa. Located in the Pondori (flooded area), Djenné is an island city that exists since the 3rd - 2nd century before Christ (date of foundation) through the development and evolution of an architectural style particular called "Sudanese architecture" that originated from genuine local constructive cultures. This earthen architecture is perpetuated since the beginning of time by corporation of traditional masons grouped within a corporation called "Bareyton". The perfect illustration of development and exceptional character of the earthen architecture of Djenné is its monumental mosque which is one of the largest earthen constructions in the world.
