Dalla Hill

Dalla Hill (also spelled Dala) is a hill in Kano, Kano State, Nigeria. It is 534 metres (1,753 ft) high and contains a stairway with 101 steps to the bottom to top.^[1]^{[clarification needed]}

In the seventh century, the hill was the site of a community that engaged in iron-working.^[2] It was called the Tsumburbura shrine from 700 CE up until the credo's collapse as a result of Islamic dominance later in the 13th century. Kano was originally known as Dala, after the hill.^[3]
