Designated as a World Heritage Site, Koutammakou features traditional takientas--the mud tower-houses considered the national symbol. Set amidst grassy hills, the 50,000 hectare (123,500 acre) cultural landscape reflects the nation's social structure as well as its relationship with the natural environment. As you explore the compound, notice how most of the houses with either flat or conical thatched roofs feature a spherical form set on a cylindrical base. Besides examining the takientas, you can also visit the nearby ceremonial spaces, sacred rocks, initiation sites, and springs.
