OLD MEAT MARKET

It is situated a little in a indentation to the north of the Place Square and is recognizable to the zébu horns enumerated above the arcades. A single butcher still offers the morning display to the local people. In the east of this plot, a insignifiante exterior look is in fact a beautiful hausa vault painted in white, but delivered to spiders and anonymity. His owner, who lives in two rooms on the first floor, often has the kindness to open it with a huge key, the old entrance door is also worth a look. In the direction of tar, you will notice a house painted, decorated with hausa motifs, its owner is proud of it and one can sometimes take a look at it. All of these old houses bear witness to a developed urban habitat found in the birni (cities) of the hausa world. A few houses can be seen carefully or rebuilt in the surrounding spirit. Indeed, a dozen Westerners have invested the old houses in the city to revive them, some live regularly, others have made their secondary residence in the cold season.
