Dar-El-Kouti sites (Tata)
The Tata (fortified palace) of Sultan Sénoussi, the caves of Kaga-Kpoungouvou, and the city of Ndélé represent the history of the Sultanate of Dar-El-Kouti in the late 18th century and early 19th century. Sultan Sénoussi gained his wealth in commerce and built a new capital on the Ndélé plateau in 1896. The caves of Kaga-Kpoungouvou were used as places of refuge from slave hunters, sent by the Sultan. Sénoussi was eventually killed by French colonial troops.
