African Renaissance Monument
Situated on the outskirts of Dakar, Senegal’s capital, on top of one of the popular twin hills known as Collines des Mamelles, the African Renaissance Monument is a 49 meter tall bronze statue overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in the Ouakam suburb. It was commissioned in 2010 to commemorate Senegal’s independence from France. It is the tallest statue in Africa.
