Monrovia Sights

Sights in Monrovia

  1. A

    Masonic Temple

    The now ruined Masonic Temple was once Monrovia's major landmark. Since most Masons were Americo-Liberian descendants of the original settlers, the Temple was a prominent symbol of previous regimes, and was vandalised after the 1980 coup when the Masonic Order was banned. A grand master's throne from the temple, once used by William Tubman, sits on dusty display at the National Museum.

  2. B

    National Museum

    The National Museum is only a shadow of its former self, with a handful of dusty masks, drums and paintings, accompanied by some interesting descriptions.
