It’s not just the physical sight of the walls that are impressive, how old the walls actually are is amazing. It was built in the year 1095 - 1134 and completed in the middle of the 14th century, that's almost 1,000 year ago. The Ancient Kano City Wall was built to provide security for the city with 15 gates (Kofar) that were used to control the movement of people in and out of the city. The ancient Kano City Wall, during those days, did not only serve as a fortress of protection to the people of Kano, it was also a source of pride to them. I mean look at it! Unfortunately, most of them are largely in ruins, they have not been maintained through the years.

Easy to locate. No fee is required. Try the rich but very cheap zobo and ginger drinks sold just beneath the wall gate. The seller is very friendly, though there was language barrier, he was helpful in putting me on a tricycle for my next destination. The wall is originally made of mud, the relics extended a bit. There was no one to guide or tell the history. Just read about it online, come to see and take pictures.

This city wall is a good tourist attraction spot that shows you the beauty of ancient Africa historic locations and an embodiment of Africa art

This an old Gate and Wall Over many years, the wall build with Soil it ring the whole city of kano with big water cavity behind the whole and its cover with with strong iron Gate which no one can can Opened it self

The ancient walls of Kano are very historical pre-colonial and even during the colonial era. They still stand today as a monument of the history of the Great and Ancient City of Kano.

The gates and the walls were built since 15th century, they were design to protect the city from the enemies abroad. Also as a form of security regulations. Its a beauty .

This is one of the old historical gate for entering kano city.This is one of security outfits to take account of anyone entering and going out through the gate.

Even though the present government has no concern for the history of the old city, it is still worth seeing. Especially if one is accompanied by a historian.

Saw the ancient ruins and renovated parts of the wall, some history hiding behind them, a local gave me a bit of a tour, quite interesting.

Kano City wall has been in existence for over 1000 years. It was first established by the then King of Kano Giji Masu son of Bagauda

Kofar Dan Agundi is one of the ancient Kano city gates sited along BUK road. It has recently got a face lift to look a bit mordern

It's a great gate that will remind you the solid great work done by great men one of most historical place to visit.
