UNESCO identifies the remains of a Portuguese chapel and a CFAO warehouse building in Albreda among the related sites. The village therefore holds material traces of different periods of exchange at the riverbank. [unesco-kinteh]

The restored CFAO structure and fragile chapel ruins require different conservation responses. Their place in a shared designation should not erase the ordinary histories of the surrounding village. [unesco-kinteh]
