Bobo-Dioulasso, Commercial center in southwestern Burkina Faso
The city extends across 1,806 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 445 meters, forming the second largest urban area in Burkina Faso.
French colonial forces established control of the region in 1897, implementing a structured grid pattern of streets and avenues between 1926 and 1929.
The Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso, constructed in the late 19th century, represents the Sudano-Sahelian architectural style with its intricate clay designs.
The Abidjan Railway connects the city to Ouagadougou and Ivory Coast, while Borgo International Airport provides air transportation services west of the center.
Local industries include bicycle assembly facilities, cotton processing plants, and traditional crafts manufacturing, contributing to the regional economic development.
