Nalerigu Defence Wall
The Wall was built in the 16th century as a protection against raiders. It is said that Naa Dzaringa (named after the African Viper) ordered that any lazy worker be added to the wall. The entire structure was said to have been built with milk and honey. Parts of the wall still stand in Nalerigu, 120km from Bolgatanga.
