The remains of Mobutu Sese Seko's palace at Gbadolite. Mobutu began work here among his kin in the 1970s, and in later years retreated to this residence for long periods. He built an international airport nearby, and would receive foreign dignitaries and heads of state in the palace's grand reception rooms. It was his last place of residence in the Congo before he fled to Morocco in 1997, September 2003
