Surame Cultural Landscape, Archaeological monument in Kebbi State, Nigeria.
The Surame Cultural Landscape spans 9 square kilometers and contains stone walls, ancient wells, and multiple settlement foundations within its boundaries.
Established in the 16th century by Muhammadu Kanta Sarkin Kebbi, the settlement served as a capital until its abandonment around 1700.
The site features defensive structures built with local stone and mortar techniques, demonstrating the architectural capabilities of historical Nigerian societies.
The archaeological site maintains several entrance points where visitors can observe the remaining structures and participate in guided educational tours.
Thorny bushes filled defensive ditches around the settlement perimeter, creating a natural barrier system alongside the stone fortifications.
