Thomas Sankara’s Grave is listed as one of the Ouagadougou attractions. To get there you go past the Village Artisanal to find the grave of a past revolutionary president. The grave is one of the sights of Ouagadougou, but it is definitely not gaudy or ornate. It’s a simple cemetery. Viewing the tombstone of the president is one of Ouagadougou tourism activities in honor of his achievements and contributions to Ouagadougou. The tombstone is colorfully decorated and there’s a boubou design on the sarcophagus top

Not only is Thomas Sankara buried here, but so are 12 of his lieutenants and his wife. West Africa considers him a hero and you are sure to find fresh flowers on the grave. When done viewing the sarcophagus, other things to do in Ouagadougou near the cemetery include visiting the house of Sankara’s father. Many of the daytime activities in Ouagadougou include taking walking tours of sites such as this cemetery.
