About Banjul
Banjul, the capital of The Gambia, stands on a small island at the mouth of the Gambia River, with a lively market and a tall ceremonial arch.
Banjul occupies St Mary's Island at the mouth of the Gambia River, where the river meets the Atlantic, linked to the mainland by causeways and ferries. The British founded it as Bathurst in 1816, and the name lasted until 1973. Arch 22, a ceremonial gateway with a viewing platform and a small museum, rises over the main road into town, and the streets behind hold low colonial buildings and mosques.
Top-ranked sights in Banjul: Albert Market, Arch 22, River Gambia National Park.
