Nabemba Tower
Tour Nabemba
A glass-curtain-wall tower about 106 metres tall, once the tallest building in Central Africa and a landmark of the Brazzaville skyline.
Completed in 1986, the 30-story tower was originally the office of the oil company Elf. It is named after Mount Nabemba, the highest peak in Congo, and once appeared on Congolese banknotes. It now houses government offices and is generally closed to visitors. You can photograph it alongside the Congo River from the Corniche or from around the memorial; the façade is lit at night.
