Things to see and do
- Climb the steps to the main terrace
- See the panorama over Ouakam, the Mamelles and the ocean
- Explore the historical displays inside when access is open
- Enjoy the late-afternoon light from the surrounding area
Good to know
The climb includes many steps and little shade. Bring water and check access conditions for the interior.
