Ancient mosques bear witness to the long history of Islam in the region. The 13^thcentury Larabanga Mosque, located near the entrance to the Mole National Park, features a curvaceous style of adobe architecture.

The remains of 15th-century defense wall, built by a Mamprusi chief using mortar of mud, blood and honey, can be found at Nalerigu.

While the mosque is a sign of Islam, graves are there to remind visitors of battles fought in the region. A mass grave of fallen Dagomba warriors can be seen at Adibo, where the Dagombas fought the Germans. The grave of Naa Attabian, a Mamprusi King, is at Nalerigu, and that of Ndewura Jakpa, king of Gonjas, is at Buipe.
