Bondoukou, Regional administrative center in northeastern Ivory Coast
Located 420 kilometers northeast of Abidjan, Bondoukou encompasses multiple ethnic neighborhoods within its walled old city, forming a significant trading center.
French colonial forces established control of Bondoukou in 1899, following a period when the territory shifted between French protection and Samori administration.
The city exhibits varied architectural styles across different neighborhoods, with influences from Timbuktu visible in structures like Karidyulaso and Kamagaya districts.
Bondoukou Museum of Art and Traditions, established in 1980, houses regional artifacts and displays in a building that previously served as the city market.
The settlement patterns reflect the heritage of Soninke Wangara merchants who founded the city after relocating from Bighu during the mid-18th century.
