The Ruins of Loropéni in Loropéni, Burkina Faso, are a significant archaeological site that date back at least a thousand years. These ruins are the best-preserved of ten fortresses in the Lobi area, a region known for its historical importance in the trans-Saharan gold trade. The site consists of impressive stone walls, some reaching up to six meters in height, which are thought to have been part of a larger settlement.
