Kano

Kano was originally known as Dala, after the hill, until the end of the 15th century.

The Kano Chronicle identifies Barbushe, a warrior priest, and a female spirit deity known as Tsumburbura.

Kano was the southernmost point of the famous trans-Sahara trade routes during the Middle Ages.

The Kano Durbar Festival is Nigeria's most spectacular horse parade, celebrating northern Nigeria's cultural heritage.

The Ancient Kano City Walls were completed in the mid 14th century and were described by Fredrick Lugard as 'something like it in Africa.'
