Monuments to visit Sokodé

There are still some buildings in Sokodé dating from the German colonial period. They are concentrated around the prefecture: residence of the prefect, prefecture, buildings of the technical high school... The German powder magazine is one of the sites not to be missed. It is located on a hill behind the camp of Sokodé. Built after 1887, it is composed of a rampart built of dry stones solidly laid out one on top of the other and surrounding a tin-covered storehouse where weapons and ammunition were kept.
