Inaugurated in 2022, this 30-meter-tall bronze-covered statue stands as a tribute to the Agoodjié (also known as minons), the historic all-female military unit of the Kingdom of Danxomè (Dahomey). Commissioned by the government, the monument serves as a symbol of national identity, courage, and patriotism.
The structure is situated on the Esplanade de l'Amazone and functions as a prominent urban landmark. It highlights the role of women in pre-colonial history and provides a significant cultural point of reference for the nation.
The surrounding area serves as a popular gathering place, particularly at dusk. The monument reflects heritage and strength through its monumental scale and is a key feature of the city's modern tourist appeal.
