Granite hills
Rocky hills and outcrops surround the town and give the Collines department its name, bending roads and paths around them and leaving open areas on the map where nothing is built.

The map
About this Savalou map poster
Savalou lies in the Collines department of central Benin, a region named for the rounded granite hills that rise out of the surrounding savanna. The town's streets are drawn around this uneven ground, so the plan is looser and more organic than that of towns on flatter land. Main roads run through the centre and continue across the region, connecting Savalou with neighbouring communities.
Savalou is the seat of a traditional kingdom and is known across Benin for its annual yam festival, held each August to celebrate the new harvest. The event draws visitors from around the country and reflects the importance of farming to the area. Beyond the town, fields, bush and scattered hamlets fill the landscape between the rocky hills.
A Savalou map poster shows the town as a knot of streets against open, gently broken terrain, with roads running off toward the surrounding villages. The contrast between the built-up centre and the wide land around it gives the print a sense of space, well suited to anyone with ties to the Collines region.

Royal town centre
As the seat of the kingdom of Savalou, the town has a historic centre where the main streets converge, forming the densest and most detailed part of the map.
Roads into the savanna
Routes leave the town across open savanna dotted with farms and small settlements, long lines that carry the eye from the centre to the edges of the poster.
