User:Hk5183/Mamelon de Sikasso

The mamelon of Sikasso is an artificial hill about 30 meters high, and 461 meters in circumference, located in the heart of Sikasso. It was built in the 1880s by the king of Kénédougou Tiéba Traoré, for the kings to have their seat there.

At its summit, there is a replica of a fortified edifice à étage which served as a place of work and as a traditional court, which was destroyed when Sikasso was conquered by the French colonizers.
