The serial property “Significant Sites of the Slave Route in Benin” is spread over four municipalities located in the Departments of Zou (Abomey), Collines (Savè, Dassa-Zoumè), Plateau (Kétou), and the Atlantic (Ouidah). It constitutes a very significant historical cultural itinerary for the Republic of Benin, for the surrounding countries and for the historical Diaspora of Afro-descendants.
