Central African Republic - The Tata (fortified palace) of Sultan Sénoussi, the Kaga-Kpoungouvou caves, the town of Ndélé

This set of three sites includes: Tata, fortified palace of Sultan Sénoussi. The caves of Kaga-Kpoungouvou. The city of Ndélé. All these properties represent the history associated with the full development of the Sultanate of Dar-El-Kouti in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth. The Central African Republic has long been a point of passage for the migrations that have swept the continent: that of the populations of the Upper Nile and especially that of the Bantu. Indeed, after the different periods that marked the country: the ninth century (the first known state structure is the kingdom of Kanem), fifteenth and sixteenth century (the kingdom of Bornou), eighteenth century (the rise of the Atlantic Treaty), the eighteenth and nineteenth century (the migration of the Zandés by the emergence of a kingdom in the Upper Oubangui and Bahr al-Ghazal) and the nineteenth century (the imperial dream and a new state, vested in Ouaddai: the Dar el Kouti), one of Sultan Baguirmi's sons, Sénoussi, grew rich in commerce, after having built a new capital on the Ndélé plateau in 1896.
