On the summit is a beautiful monument representing Calvary Hill and the crucifixion. On a clear day, the views from the peak give a stunning 360-degree view of the region.

Bamenda, also known as Abakwa and Mankon Town, is a city in northwestern Cameroon and the capital of the Northwest Region. The city has a population of about 2 million people and is located 366 kilometers northwest of the Cameroonian capital, Yaoundé. Bamenda is known for its cool climate and scenic hilly location.
The origins of the city are related to the settlement of the Tikar people who culturally forged and maintained relations with the Kingdom of Bamum in the 1700s. In 1884, the city was colonized by Germany until 1916 when it became a colony administered by Great Britain and France. In 1919, the administration of the Northwest Region and thus the city of Bamenda became only British. In 1961, the region joined Cameroon.
