Musicians

These are statues of traditional musicians here. Any time there is a wedding, a christening or other big celebration musicians like these will be called to come and play. These are located just to one side of Arch 22 at the entrance to Banujul.

Arch 22

This is called Arch 22. It stands over the highway at the entrance to Banjul.

On July 22, 1994 Banjul was the scene of a bloodless military coup d'état in which President Dawda Jawara was overthrown and replaced by the country's current President Yahya Jammeh. To commemorate this event, Arch 22 was built as an entrance portal to the capital. The gate is 35 metres tall and the centre of an open square. It houses a textile museum. (From Wikipedia)
