Author cje5@st-andrews.ac.uk DescriptionEN English Description The Sukur Cultural Landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Mandara Mountains of northeastern Nigeria. This landscape encompasses the Sukur settlement, which is notable for its unique architecture, agricultural terraces, and cultural traditions. The Sukur Cultural Landscape features a well-preserved hilltop settlement that is surrounded by a series of terraces, which were constructed for agricultural purposes. The terraces demonstrate the innovative farming techniques employed by the Sukur people to cultivate crops such as millet, sorghum, and vegetables in a challenging mountainous environment. The architecture of the Sukur settlement is characterized by stone houses with thatched roofs, arranged in a compact manner around a central area known as the Hidi's compound. The Hidi is the traditional ruler of the Sukur people, and the compound serves as the administrative and ceremonial center of the community.
