The Royal Palace of the Oba of Benin is notable as the home of the Oba of Benin and other royals.[1][2]
The palace, built by Oba Ewedo (1255–1280), is located at the heart of ancient City of Benin. It was rebuilt 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.
