MAMELON
Read moreThis is an important element of the military architecture. It was built by King Tiéba, anxious to have an overview on Sikasso so as not to be surprised by the enemy. A pyramid form and a height of 30 m, it now serves as a show stage and has a gallery of thousand places. From the Nipple, we have a very beautiful view of the large market.
MARKET
Read moreThe Sikasso market is rich in artisanal and agricultural products. It is even the best supplied fruit and vegetable market in the country. There are sweet peas, yams, bananas, pineapples, oranges, potatoes… This market, which is taking place on Sunday, even attracts traders from Bamako, Segou, Mopti and neighbouring countries.
TATA
Read moreThe Tata is the most remarkable and comprehensive model of West Africa's great fortresses. The visit of the Tata reveals, a century after the capture of Sikasso, the ingenuity with which the wall was built. A symbol of resistance to foreign occupation, the Tata allowed Tiéba to valiantly resist the-month siege of Samory, and Babemba to relentlessly repel the French.
