Abstract

Nigeria's distinctive indigenous architecture is influenced by many historical traditions. The mosque, as the community's principal place of prayer, stands out as a unique architectural style. This research aims to investigate and evaluate the role of ornamentation in mosques throughout Lagos State as a significant element of cultural identity. By analyzing the intricate decorative elements, this study illustrates the various cultural influences shaping these sacred spaces. Focusing on select mosques in Lagos, this work highlights the architectural evolution and its contribution to defining cultural identity in the region.
