The most beautiful religious buildings Agadez

It is the place of the Martyrs, where, in the sixteenth century, Saint Abayazid was born, who proclaimed freedom to all the convicts who came to a piquet planted in his place. This was where many of the cultivated personalities of Agadez were massacred by the French relief column from Zinder on 3 March 1917 to release the military post of Kaossen headquarters. Abayazid is buried in the mausoleum called albamban, a white dome construction in Coupole cemetery adjoining the airstrip, visible from the terrace of Azel Hostel.
