Classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, the Tata Somba is a unique construction in the world that can be found in the northeast of Benin and at the Benin-Togo border. It is a traditional habitat designed for protection and resistance against enemies and wild beasts that used to proliferate in these regions. The Tata Somba, a preserve of the Bètammaribè peoples, is a fortified castle with a ground floor and a top floor including granaries and dwellings.
