The ruins
of the capital city and surrounding wall of the Peul empire
of Macina
lie some 30 kilometres from Mopti . This empire was founded in 1810 by Sékou Amadou, considered as a saint man. It dominated a great part of actual Mali. It was extended by Sékou Amadou's son : Amadou Sékou, then by his grandson : Amadou Amadou before being blown up by El Hadj Oumar Tall en 1862. The sight the site offers on the neighbouring landscape is magnificent. |
