Summary

DescriptionOuidah map (1926).png	English: 1926 basic city map of Ouidah, French Dahomey (now Republic of Benin). The area occupied by the Portuguese fort (Forte de São João de Ajudá) is shown in pink. The fort remained an enclave under Portuguese sovereignty until 1961. The location of the former British and French forts, both torn down by then, is also indicated (color and flags added later). The Gulf of Guinea would be at the bottom of the map. Français : Plan de Ouidah datant de 1926. L'emplacement des anciens forts portugais, anglais et français est indiqué. À l'époque, seul le fort portugais subsistait toujours. Il formait une minuscule enclave sous souveraineté portugaise qui a subsisté jusqu'en 1961. (La couleur et les drapeaux ne font pas partie du plan original.)
