About village :

Labaragaga is situated 10 miles (16 km) west of Damongo in the Northern Region and only about 5 miles to the Mole National Park. It is a common believe that this mosque is the oldest in Ghana. Even the present generation think it was built by God. The villagers built another mosque where they go to pray or worship daily. The so-called \\\\\\\'God-built mosque\\\\\\\' also houses a holy koran which also is believed to descend from heaven. This holy book is read once in a year or so during a special ceremony. Many prominent moslems from Ivory Coast, where the people of Larabanga claim to have migrated from, visit the village for such a function. The same mosque was on the old five cedi note.This same village has a stone which could not be moved away during the time the Wa-Sawla-Tamale road was constructed. Each time it was moved, it kept coming back so they had to leave it and divert the road somehow. This portion of the road is popularly known as Larabanga SS now.Larabanga is a small town in Western Gonja in Northern Region. It is a predominantly moslem town and became famous because of the mosque which was built in the style of buildings in the former Western Sudanese Empires.
