Works of art to see Bandjéli

The village is one of the oldest and most important iron and steel centers in West Africa, with iron ores having been exploited very early on by the local population. For more than two millennia, this tradition has been exported to Burkina Faso, Benin and Ghana. The region is known for its smelting techniques and its blacksmiths. In the locality, one discovers several blast furnaces, which should soon be upgraded.
