Library and mausoleums

This stop offers a chance to learn about Cheikh Ahmadou Bamba's writings and Mouride heritage. Ask which library spaces receive visitors before travelling. Mausoleums remain places of devotion; access to collections, manuscripts and religious spaces must never be assumed.

Things to see and do

  • Ask for an introduction to the written heritage.
  • Consult only material made available to visitors.
  • Respect quiet areas and photography rules.

Good to know
