The Amazon Monument commemorates the women soldiers of Dahomey on the coastal esplanade of Cotonou.

The monument depicts a Dahomey warrior woman in bronze, standing over the open public esplanade near Boulevard de la Marina. The figure honors the historical military regiments of women who served the Kingdom of Dahomey. Pedestrians gather across the paved grounds during late afternoons when sea winds cool the open stone terrace.

Living nearby means using the landmark as a primary navigation reference for taxi drivers and couriers across the waterfront district. Intense daytime heat makes the unshaded perimeter difficult to cross on foot, so daily transit relies on motorcycle taxis along the avenue. Salt air from the ocean accelerates rust on vehicles parked nearby.
