Madina Central Mosque/simply Madina Mosque is: one of the: largest mosques in Ghana located in the——La-Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly.

Established after 1959, Madina mosque houses two schools; a basic secondary school offering secular education. And a college that specializes in Qur'anic studies. Alms-giving is a common scene in the vicinity of the Mosque and researchers have often used the location in their case studies——to try——to understand the "phenomenon of beggary in Ghana."
