The bustling community of Pointe-Noire, the second largest city in the Republic of the Congo, features a handicraft market loaded with carved masks and woven fiber tapestries. At nearby Diosso Gorge, erosion has created a series of red rock cliffs and ridges. Near the gorge is the small but fascinating Ma-Loango Regional Museum, royal residence to the Kingdom of Loango for hundreds of years. Scenic green countryside surrounds the city.
