   When was Djenné founded?

   • There is some uncertainty surrounding the establishment of Djenné. It was likely founded sometime between the 8th and the 13th century. It is near the site of Djenné-Jeno, an ancient city dating as far back as 250 bce —one of the oldest known cities in sub-Saharan Africa—that had fallen into decline near the time that Djenné was established.
