A metal statue covered in bronze with a total height of 30m now perpetuates the female warriors of the ancient kingdom of Danxomè, in Cotonou, the economic capital of Benin.
It is the statue of the Amazon.

In Cotonou, the Amazonian monument is gradually becoming part of the city's tourist landscape.
Indeed, behind the Palais de la Marina, not far from the Palais des Congrès and the Port of Cotonou, an imposing representation takes shape in the sky.
It is the statue of the Amazon. Erected on the Esplanade des Amazones, the monument entitled "Amazone" aims to establish a strong symbol honoring the female warriors of Danxomè, the first purely female army created by Queen Tassi Hangbé, the only woman to reign over the kingdom from 1708 to 1711.
