Much of the ancient surviving architecture in Kandara is comprised of the {{wp|Islamic architecture|Islamic architectural style}} brought by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Much of these are religious buildings like mosques and masjid and other are government buildings primarily in the large urban settlements that would become the cities along the coasts. In the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Early_modern_history|early modern period]], architectural influences came primarily from the [[Occidental world]], especially the styles in [[Burgundie]]. These [[Levantia|Levantine]] styles persisted and even after the collapse of the [[Burgoignesc colonial empire]] and a resurgence of [[Occidental]] architectural motifs became the norm, especially in the late 20th century, after [[Operation Kipling]]. However, in the 1990s until now there has been a revival of more classical building methods, local building materials, architectural motifs reminiscent of both Afro and {{wp|Architecture_of_Africa#Modern_Islamic_African_Architecture|Islamic}} styles of the past. While most urban cores reflect the more [[Occidental]] styles of the late 20th century and early 21st century, other less densely populated areas are much more visually reminiscent of historical African architectural styles.
