Colombe de la Paix, Peace monument in 5e Arrondissement, Lomé, Togo.
Colombe de la Paix is a monument in the 5th Arrondissement of Lomé featuring a white dove perched on a globe, holding a laurel branch in its beak. The sculpture sits at a major intersection and serves as a key reference point in the city's landscape.
The monument drew inspiration from Picasso's famous peace dove design from 1949, created during a peace congress following World War II. After suffering damage in January 1994, it was rebuilt with structural reinforcements.
The monument stands where four main roads meet in Lomé and represents the population's desire for peace and divine protection. Visitors see people gathering here daily, using the site as an important meeting point in the city.
The monument sits at Lomé's entrance and is easy to reach by public transport. It is best visited during daytime when more people are around and the area feels more active.
The white dove was specifically chosen to express an artistic vision of worldwide peace that extends beyond Togo's borders. The symbol shows how local monuments often carry messages that speak to people everywhere.
