The African Renaissance Monument, Senegal

The African Renaissance monument was built in 2010, opening on April 4th, and is a statue expressing a symbolized rebirth of Africa, and commemorating Senegalese independence. Constructed on the Mamelles hill, which adds a hundred meters to its already 49-meter height, it presents a commemoration of traditional African culture and heritage, both in Africa and abroad. Huge, colossal really at some 22,000 tons, and built of shining bronze, it is the largest statue of Africa and certainly a major sight for Dakar, quite often visited for its observation deck with views over Dakar. If you happen to be going to Dakar, it'll probably be one of the places for you to go.
