The city center dates from the early twentieth century. There are some remains of colonial architecture, such as the [[Palace of the Governors, Togo|Palace of the Governors]] or the [[Sacred Heart Cathedral, Lomé|Sacred Heart Cathedral]], in German neo-Gothic style.

There are also many modern buildings such as the headquarters of the [[Central Bank of West African States]] (BCEAO), the [[West African Development Bank]] (BOAD), the Togolese Bank for Trade and Industry (BTCI), the Economic Community of West African States (ECoWAS) or hotel buildings such as the Hotel de la Paix, the Mercure Sarakawa Hotel, the Palm Beach Hotel or the famous [[Hotel du 2 Février]], a modernist building mixing concrete and glass panels, culminating at 102 meters with 36 floors, and is the tallest building in Togo.

Not far away is the [[Grand Market (Togo)|Grand Market]], with a three-storey hall. There are red peppers, limes, dried fish, combs, travel bags, traditional medicinal remedies. On the first floor is the kingdom of the famous "[[Nana Benz]]", sellers of multiple loincloths made locally, in [[Europe]] or [[India]]. To the west of the city is a residential area which, facing the sea, unfolds long arteries, punctuated by official buildings such as the [[Palace of Justice (Togo)|Palace of Justice]] and various embassies and consulates.

Further north, next to the Independence Monument, is the headquarters of the [[Rally of the Togolese People]] (RPT) and an important convention center.

More eccentric, compared to the center of the city, we find in {{ill|Akodesséwa|fr}}, a much more specialized market than the large market and for good reason, it is the [[Akodessawa Fetish Market|fetish market]]. Fetishes, gongons, gray-gray are found here. The port of Lomé serves most of the landlocked countries of the Sahel, especially since the political problems experienced by [[Côte d'Ivoire]] and which deprives [[Abidjan]] of an economic outlet for countries such as [[Mali]] or [[Burkina Faso]]. Lomé is therefore taking advantage of the difficult political situation in Côte d'Ivoire.
