... Great view of a 400-year-old royal village inhabited by the Kassena people, one of the oldest ethnic groups in West Africa... this hidden gem tucked away in the heart of West Africa offers a captivating blend of rich cultural heritage and stunning traditional architecture... the town is famous for its elaborately decorated mud houses, which are painted with intricate geometric patterns and symbols using natural pigments... these designs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also serve as a form of cultural expression and identity for the Kassena people... the painted houses of Tiébélé attract tourists from far and wide that love and appreciate traditional arts... Thanks a lot Gate!¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Located at the foot of a hill in a lowland landscape, the Royal Court of Tiébélé forms an irregular circular space of approximately 1.2 hectares.
Several characteristic elements can be distinguished: a sacred hill, an altar of the ancestor and the red fig tree.
The courtyard is characterized by a rich traditional architecture of a defensive character. It is surrounded by high perimeter walls connected by residential walls.
