Askia's Tombe, located in Malinese Gao, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tomb is the cemetery of Askia Mohammed I, the first emperor of the Songhai Empire and was built in the late 15th century.
The tomb is a good example of the clay traditions in the West African Sahel. The complex comprises a tomb in the form of a pyramid, two mosques, a cemetery and a gathering place. With a height of 17 meters it is the highest pre-colonial architectural monument in the region. It is a beautiful example of an Islamic architectural style, as used later in the entire environment. 16 ° 17 '23 "NB, 0 ° 2' 40" WL
