Di tích khảo cổ gồm 11 vòng trụ đá ong dựng quanh các mộ táng ở bờ bắc sông Gambia, một trong bốn cụm thuộc Di sản Thế giới Các vòng đá Senegambia ghi danh năm 2006. Theo UNESCO, Wassu có những trụ đá cao nhất vùng, các mộ đã khai quật có niên đại từ năm 927 tới 1305, trụ cao nhất đo được 2,59 mét. Đá được đẽo bằng dụng cụ sắt từ một mỏ ngay phía đông khu di tích, và tới nay dân quanh vùng vẫn đặt đá nhỏ, có khi cả rau quả, lên đầu các trụ.

IIHelp Us Build This

This library is open and free, and it records its own progress in public. Three things you can help with today:

  1. Name a place we missedA founding temple, a church, a mosque, a shrine the table above does not have. Send the name, the province, and one line on why it belongs.
  2. Send a photograph with an open licenceNothing is published without both the photographer and the licence. Your own photograph with your permission, or an openly licensed one, are both welcome.
  3. Report an errorA wrong date, a wrong Chinese name, a wrong lineage, a wrong address. A library that is wrong once is not trusted again, so corrections are very welcome.

  • 05/10/2026Stage 5, one place for every country, sixth batch: 24 articles written for 24 more countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Oceania (Nan Madol, the Wassu Stone Circles, the Grand Mosque of N'Djamena, Providence Baptist Church in Monrovia, the carved wooden columns of Saint-Michel de Nkembo, the atoll churches of Tarawa, Majuro and Funafuti, and others). Every country outside current conflicts and territorial disputes now has one place. Awaiting openly licensed photographs.

?Quick Questions

Why are there no opening hours or ticket prices

Because they change constantly. A library that is wrong once about a practical detail loses its standing on everything else. Check with the place itself before you travel.

Where do the images come from

From Wikimedia Commons under open licences, each credited to its photographer, or photographed by UK MASTER ACADEMY. No image is published without both its author and its licence.

How were these places chosen

Four tests: it is officially listed as a heritage site, it belongs to a tradition this library covers, its site and orientation can be read in feng shui terms, and an openly licensed photograph exists.

Why is my country still grey

The library opens one country at a time, beginning with the countries that have the most readers, and within each country with its most significant places. A grey country is simply one whose turn has not come. Suggestions are welcome through the page of Master Ưng Khiêm.
