Royal Palaces of Abomey

by Unesco tripwolf

A once powerful African kingdom that burned itself to the ground rather than be taken by the French in 1900.

From 1625 to 1900, 12 kings succeeded one another at the head of the powerful Kingdom of Abomey. With the exception of King Akaba, who had his own separate enclosure, they all had their palaces built within the same cob-wall area, in keeping with previous palaces as regards the use of space and materials. The royal palaces of Abomey are a unique reminder of this vanished kingdom.
