The Royal Palace of the Oba of Benin is notable as the home of the Oba of Benin and other royals.[1][2]
The original palace, built by Oba Ewedo (1255–1280), was located at the heart of ancient City of Benin. A new palace was built by Oba Eweka II (1914–1932) after the original building was destroyed during the 1897 war with the British.
The Royal Palace of Oba of Benin is a celebration and preservation of the rich Benin culture.[3] Most of the visitors to the palace are curators, archaeologists or historians.
