Rei-Bouba

Rey Bouba became the seat of a powerful Fulbe lamidate in the Adamawa country. Its ruler Bouba Ndjidda built the foundations of a military and political power that surpassed its neighbours. At the heart of the town stands his palace, built between 1805 and 1808 and enclosed by a massive wall. Within its walls were the ruler’s quarters, workshops, storerooms, and spaces for the people who served his court.
