Reunification Monument
Monument de la Réunification
A spiral concrete monument commemorating the reunification of French and British Cameroon. Visitors can climb its ramp for views over central Yaoundé.
The Reunification Monument was built in the 1970s to commemorate the 1961 reunification of French Cameroon and British Southern Cameroons. Two spiral ramps wind around a central column, symbolising the union of the two parts, and relief sculptures at the base depict national unity. Visitors can walk the ramps to the upper platform and look out over the city centre and the seven surrounding hills. The monument stands at the southern end of Reunification Avenue in the government district. Entry is free, and it is guarded by police and soldiers, so avoid pointing your camera at government buildings.
