Abomey
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.
Ganvié
This is not a picture of a flood. This is Ganvié, in the Republic of Benin, the largest collection of lake dwellings in Africa. 20,000 people call Ganvié’s stilt supported dwellings home.
Parakou
he word Parakou means ‘a city for everyone’ and is derived from a local tribal word. Parakou is one of the largest cities in Benin and serves as the terminus for the Benin-Niger Railways. It is essentially Benin’s final port of call before goods move along the Niger River. This could be one of the reasons why Parakou thrives as a bustling marketplace. Some of the industries that are the foundation of Parakou’s economy are the cotton, textile and peanut oil industries.
