Lamidat de Rey-Bouba, Cultural palace complex in North Region, Cameroon.

The palace spans five hectares with a seven-meter-high wall enclosure featuring six doors and distinct functional districts across the property.

The construction of the palace occurred between 1805 and 1808 under the Ngjidda reign, establishing the administrative center of the Lamidat.

The palace includes specialized areas for the Lamido's courtroom, noble residences, and ceremonial spaces that maintain traditional governance practices.

The palace structure contains wide traveling tracks between districts, allowing visitors and residents to move through designated pathways within the complex.

The enclosure wall extends 800 meters with varying thickness, measuring 1.5 meters at the base and narrowing to 0.5 meters at its peak.
