Kangaba is a town and commune and seat of the Cercle of Kangaba in the Koulikoro Region of south-western Mali.[2]
The area was once the Kangaba Province under the Mali Empire.
Kamablon, a circular brick building with a conical-shaped roof, exists in a bara, or large public place, at the center of town.[3] It is currently being considered as a UNESCO World Heritage cultural site.[3] The septennial re-roofing ceremony is listed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as of 2009.
