About
Togba, once a thriving town in southern central Mauritania, is now known through its archaeological ruins. These remnants were discovered in proximity to the historically significant location of Aoudaghost, shedding light on the region's past urban landscape. The town likely flourished during the Early to Late Post-Classical Period, serving as an important habitation site. Although detailed structural elements of the town are not specified in available records, its identification as a 'town' suggests the presence of domestic and habitation structures typical of such sites. The significance of Togba lies in its contribution to understanding settlement patterns and urban development in Mauritania during the Post-Classical Period.
