Gbadolite or Gbado-Lite (pronounced [ɡ͡badolite][please use correct ISO code]) is the capital of Nord-Ubangi Province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Mobutu built Gbadolite into a luxurious town often nicknamed "Versailles of the Jungle".

The town had a general hospital with high tech facilities, supermarkets or malls, which were destroyed in 1997.

The bunker was connected to the Ubangui River by a secret tunnel, giving access to the military harbour at the village of N'dangi.

[5] When Laurent Kabila successfully led a rebellion and ousted Mobutu in 1997, Gbadolite was raided, and most of what was in the palaces was looted.
