Koutammakou is a cultural landscape designated in 2004 as an UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Koutammakou, Togo, December 2, 2024. The Tamberma people are mostly animists, and clannish by nature. They oppose any form of domination and servitude. The Tamberma are famous for their two-story fortified houses, known as Takienta (Tata, Tata Somba or Ditammari) in which the ground floor houses livestock at night, internal alcoves are used for cooking, and the upper floor contains a rooftop courtyard that is used for drying grain, as well as containing sleeping quarters and granaries. These mud-houses are the Tamberma preferred style of living. A dog stands at the main entrance.
