Porto-Novo
Porto-Novo is a port city and the capital of Benin, in West Africa. It's known for colonial buildings like the Brazilian-style Great Mosque, formerly a church. The Ethnographic Museum displays ceremonial masks, musical instruments and costumes. The Musée da Silva recounts Benin's history and celebrates Afro-Brazilian culture. Just east, the Honmé Museum was King Toffa's 19th-century royal palace.
