In Oualata, you will be fascinated by the citadel, a kind of rectangular monolith overlooking the city from the top of a hill. In the Old Town, which benefits from a development program, admire the solid wooden main gates which are richly decorated with hand forged rivets. Roam the pretty restored cobbled streets to admire the houses painted with the traditional patterns of the city.
