city, former national capital
Grand-Bassam, the first capital of Ivory Coast, is an example of a late 19th- and early 20th-century colonial town, complete with separate quarters for Africans and Europeans and for commerce and administration, in addition to the historic N'zima African fishing village.
The city is home to numerous examples of colonial architecture and reflects the complex social relations that once existed between Europeans and Africans.
