Landmark Tourist Spot Must See

• 

See the effect of Italian colonialism in Africa at Liberation Avenue (also called Harnet Ave). A mix of Italian-influenced architectural styles fill the street, making it one of the most beautiful in Africa. Find Italian Rationalism, Furutism, and Novecento architecture created by Italian colonialists filling the area. The colony's impression doesn't end there; typically Italian meals, such as pizza and pasta, have almost become national dishes here. Find important buildings located along the street, including the old governor's palace located at the street's west end, and the old opera house to the east.
