The presence of cases à impluvium, typical of Jola architecture, greatly contribute to the reputation of the village.

Several French soldiers were killed at the Battle of Seleki on December 1, 1886, including Lieutenant Truche.

[1] On May 17, 1906, when Djignabo Badji, a charismatic leader and fetish leader of the Seleki who was believed to be indestructible, led an attack against French troops led by Lieutenant Lauque, Badji was killed and subsequently entered into local legend.

Seleki is located within walking distance of the left bank of the estuary of the Casamance River.

An application for registration of all the Bandial cases à impluvium on the World Heritage List was filed with UNESCO on November 18, 2005.
