BCEAO Tower (Bamako)

It sits on the north ("right→") bank of the Niger River in the center of the City of Bamako.

The building, dull orange in colour, matches the traditional banco architecture of West Africa, as well as that of the soil in the surrounding area.

The BCEAO Tower is the Malian headquarters of the Central Bank of West African States, whose acronym in French is BCEAO and which provides development banking and government financial and currency services in several Francophone West African nations.

Just to the east of the BCEAO complex, a park and formal garden mark where the diagonally running "Boulevard du Peuple" reaches the river.
