Stèle de Kaba

Stèle de Kaba, Historical monument and museum in Natitingou, Benin.

The Stèle de Kaba is a monument at the entrance of Natitingou, on the Djougou–Natitingou–Porga interstate road. It comprises a roundabout about 100 m² in diameter, exhibition halls, offices, a green space and the stele itself, inspired by Somba tata architecture and topped by a statue of Kaba. It is an extension of the Natitingou Regional Museum.

The idea of honouring Kaba with a stele dates from a 1987 symposium held for the 70th anniversary of his death. On 28 October 2005, Minister of Culture, Handicrafts and Tourism Antoine Dayori laid the foundation stone. The stele is an extension of the Natitingou Regional Museum.

The site is named after Kaba, the resistance figure whose memory it keeps; a symposium on his work was held in 1987 for the 70th anniversary of his death. The stele is an extension of the Natitingou Regional Museum, and its form draws on Somba tata architecture, with a statue of Kaba on top.

The stele stands at the entrance to Natitingou, on the Djougou-Natitingou-Porga interstate road, so it is reached by car before entering the town. The grounds cover a roundabout about 100 m in diameter, with exhibition halls, offices and a green space around the monument. As an extension of the Natitingou Regional Museum, it is visited together with that museum.

The stele's form is borrowed from the tata, the fortified earthen tower-houses of the Somba (Otammari) of the Atakora region, and it is crowned by a statue of Kaba. The monument stands at the entrance to Natitingou on the Djougou–Natitingou–Porga interstate road, and it is an extension of the Natitingou Regional Museum.
