SENEGAL-ECONOMY-HERITAGE-ARCHITECTURE

People stand in front of Our Lady of Victories Cathedral in Dakar on January 13, 2025. Once an iconic landmark emblematic of traditional west African architecture, the grandeur of Dakar's fabled Sandaga market can now only be marvelled at through old photographs. Like many historic buildings in Senegal's ever-expanding capital, Sandaga fell prey to the march of modernisation and the clamour for greater profits from property development. Its story reflects a familiar pattern in Dakar, where most historic buildings are either already in ruins or under threat of being demolished and replaced with a larger, impersonal alternative.
