The tata, or fortified wall, creates a citadel-like palace on a hill overlooking N'Délé. It was constructed at the behest of Sultan Mohammed al-Sanussi in the late 19th Century[2].
N'Délé, the tata, and the Kaga-Kpoungouvou caves were collectively added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on April 11th, 2006 in the Cultural category[2].
