The Tomb of Askia | Mali


Postcard
The Tomb of Askia, in Gao, Mali, is believed to be the burial place of Askia Mohammad I, one of the Songhai Empire's most prolific emperors. It was built at the end of the fifteenth century. It is a fine example of the monumental mud-building traditions of the West African Sahel.

Tomb of Askia is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
