Timbuktu, located in present-day Mali, became a significant cultural and trade center in the 14th century during the height of the Mali Empire. It flourished particularly from the 15th to the 16th centuries, attracting scholars, traders, and travelers. The city's prominence declined in the following centuries, but it remains historically important for its rich heritage and role in the trans-Saharan trade. Today, it is recognized for its historical significance and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
