Lomé, Capital city and port on the Gulf of Guinea, Togo
The expansive city stretches along the Atlantic coast, featuring a network of broad avenues, commercial districts, and residential neighborhoods around its deepwater port.
German colonizers established Lomé as the capital of Togoland in 1897, developing it into an administrative center with railways connecting to interior regions.
The Grand Market stands as a central trading hub where merchants sell traditional fabrics, spices, and crafts, reflecting the city's connection to West African commerce.
The port of Lomé handles three million tons of goods annually, processing exports of phosphates, cocoa, coffee, cotton, and palm products through modern facilities.
The University of Lomé, established in 1965, contains the largest library in Togo with extensive collections of academic and historical documents.
