Western Area Urban"[14]", This is the seat of the administration of the Sierra Leonean Government. The diversity and tolerance of the Western Area Urban is an admirable feature of the capital city of Sierra Leone. This region is what we know as Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone. Freetown is respected internationally for it's tolerance and friendliness to visitors and hence throughout history, men and women from allover the world have sought refuge within it's borders. Freetown also ranks as one of the most naturally beautiful Cities in the world. This is due to it's geograph. Forest green fold Mountains and Hills suddenly decend into the Atlantic Ocean; this makes it easy for ships to dock without much worries about the depth of the waters, hence the City is a favourite from the Seas. Freetown is also the first African city to have a western and modern established academic higher institution know as the Fourahbay College. The beauty of the Guma Valley lake captures the breath of all flying over the city.
