Ouidah, the mythical city, Ouidah, the city with multiple names and at last, Ouidah, the starting point for slaves to the unknown and virgin land of America…The temple of pythons, the Portuguese fortress, the slave road, the doors of no return and return and the sacred forest of Kpasse are all beauty spots that make you look deep into the grim past of the slave trade. The temple of the pythons opposite to the cathedral building is the symbolic proof of syncretism importance in Benin. So there’s no shame or moral shock to see someone who goes to church in the morning and performs voodoo rituals in a shrine in the afternoon.
