Just north of the Burkinabe border lie the ruins of Loropéni, a fortified medieval settlement (c 1000CE), part of a landscape that extends into Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.

Similar sites have been reported in Côte d'Ivoire, but there are currently numerous issues facing Ivorian archaeology.

These pre-Islamic sites of Loropeni, Oursi, and Kissi feature massive stone walls, a double-storey building complex, and an elite cemetery with grave goods imported from the Roman provinces of North Africa and Spain.

Much larger elite monuments with orthogonal layouts have also been discovered in the 'Lobi ruins'.
They include hundreds of walled settlements, such as Loropeni, with walls and houses built with laterite stone and earth, dated to 1040-1420CE
