Larabanga (Arabic: لارابانجا) is a village in West Gonja district, a district in northwestern Northern Region of Ghana. It is known for its whitewashed adobe Sahelian mosque, said to date from 1421, and which, having been built at the height of the trans-Saharan trade, is reputed to be Ghana's oldest mosque and houses a copy of the Qur'an almost as old. The village is also known for its Mystic Stone, for its patterned vernacular architecture, and as the entrance to the Mole National Park.
