The Ancient Kano City Walls (Hausa: ''Kofar Na'isa'') were ancient defensive walls that were built in order to protect citizens and inhabitants of the ancient city of Kano. Built between 1095 AD through 1134 AD and completed in the middle of the 14th century, the Ancient Kano City Walls were described as "'the most impressive monument in West Africa". ==History== The Ancient Kano City Walls were built as a defensive wall with the construction of the foundation laid by Sakri Gijimasu (1095–1134), the third king of in the Kano Chronicle. In the mid 14th century during the reign of Zamnagawa, the wall was completed before it was further expanded during the 16th century. According to historians, the then General-Governor of the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, Fredrick Lugard, wrote in a 1903 report about the Kano Walls that he had “never seen anything like it in Africa” after capturing the ancient city of Kano along with British forces.
