Jaekel House

Jaekel House, one of the oldest buildings located within the Nigerian Railway Compound Lagos, built circa 1900, is recognised as a fine example of colonial style tropical architecture. In a dilapidated state for years, the restoration of the building and extensive garden was completed in 2010 by Legacy1995, the Historical & Environmental Interest Group of Nigeria, with an upper floor Mini Museum.

i went to Jaekel house with my family over Christmas (2019). This hidden gem is right in the middle of busy bustling Lagos...it was fascinating. The colonial house was built in 1898 and it still stands thanks to the restorative efforts of Legacy1995 (Historical & Environmental NGO). The mini museum has many artefacts and it is a perfect location for any celebration. I learnt a lot about colonial Lagos and i look forward to my next visit. #Historical #GreatEscape #Tranquil #Architecture #Legacy1995

Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove

Reviewed By Dee3concepts - Manchester, United Kingdom

i visited the groove and saw with my own eyes stories read from books and journals and i met those to give brushes to the history been shed for years. I was privileged to witness the cleansing process before worshippers were allowed into the groove, i took pictures too to this effect as well. Nigeria is got an heritage to cling to if properly harnessed.

Abuja National Mosque

Reviewed By 861douglasg - Abuja, Nigeria

Although I am a Christian and not an expert in architecture, I have a deep appreciation for Islamic architecture. This is one of the most beautiful building in Abuja and one most of my friends and family who come to visit appreciate seeing. While not as impressive as some of the Mosques I have seen in the Middle East, it is still an impressive site in the Abuja cityscape. It’s hard to miss when driving through the city centre and stands out amongst the otherwise sterile government office buildings in the city centre.

The Cathedral Church of Christ

Reviewed By Liesel81 - Kigali Province, Rwanda

I first noticed this building when I came back for easter it was at night as I got of at the cms busstop I was so impressed by the sight of the building that I wanted to go back and have a look. I visited on a public holiday before the evening markets started so the junction was busy but not yet crazy. We didnt pay any entrance fee. The secruity guys let us in and we took a look at the cathedral and made some pictures. Unlike certain places my digital camera was not an issue here. I believe we spent like 20 minutes in the church. The pictures of the cathredal are best taken from across the street or perharps also from the bridge. They church had been decorated for an 80th birthday celebration so there were flowers and ribbons - making the pictures more personal
