The Zoungbodji Memorial, located along the historic slave route in Ouidah, Benin, serves as a somber reminder of the region's tragic history. Situated near a mass grave of slaves who died before reaching the transatlantic markets, it commemorates the many lives lost during the brutal slave trade. The memorial stands as a place of reflection and mourning, marking the end of the journey for countless individuals who were forced into captivity. It is located close to the Fosse Commune, another significant site, and the Tree of No Return, both key landmarks on the Slave Route. The Zoungbodji Memorial underscores the deep historical and emotional connections to this dark chapter of history.
