Abomey Xwe

The Royal Palaces of Abomey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stand as evidence of the powerful Fon kingdom that ruled from here for centuries. Twelve kings built twelve palaces, and the bas-reliefs on the walls tell stories of conquest, ceremony, and daily life. Walking through these courtyards is walking through centuries of Beninese power, art, and memory.
