The town of Nzulezo (or Nzulzu) is located near the town of Beyin, roughly 90 kilometers west of Takoradi, in the Jomoro District of the Western Region of Ghana.[1] Built over Lake Tadane, the settlement of Nzulezo (meaning "surface of water") consists of stilt-supported structures integrated seamlessly with the water-dominated natural landscape.[1]
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on January 17, 2000, in the Cultural category.[1]
