Location of Aného in Togo

Aneho is a town in southeastern Togo. It is situated 45 km east of the capital Lomé, between the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Togo. Originally a Portuguese slave market, it became the first German capital of Togo in the 1880s. It gradually declined in importance after the capital was transferred to Lomé in 1897, a decline exacerbated by coastal erosion.

The town's main industries are farming and fishing, while it is still a centre for voodoo. Notable buildings include Aneho Protestant Church (built in 1895) and Aneho Peter and Paul Church, dating from 1898.
