Benin

Abomey

We had a look at the royal palaces of the former Dahomey kingdom in Abomey. Generations of Dahomian Kings fought wars, maintained female warriors, and sold slaves to the Europeans to equip themselves militarily. Nowadays the palaces are empty. In the afternoon we went to a nearby village to watch Yoruba people performing the masked Guèlèdè dance.
