Ile Nla- Ooni of Ife Palace

It was a privilege to visit the magnificent palace and sacred grounds where past and present kings reside.

A sprawling and splendid palace with a touch of modern designs. I enjoyed my time at the Palace with the Royal Majesty himself and our entourage. Kade o pelori ki bata o pe lese.

The current Ooni of Ife has upgraded the Palace to the status of "Historic Site". The relics and resting places of the previous Oonis have been preserved as authoritative traditional viewable history. The site itself is pristine white in the order of the tradition and the gardens are beautifully kept.
Home to many community groups of The Source, it constantly bustles with activity.
A must see in Ile Ife. Living history!!!

Historical place! A lot of history in the Palace.

Oonirisha 's domain is always a nice place to be

If you have the opportunity to, take a guided tour of the Palace. You'll likely not meet the Ooni, but you'll be regaled with tales about his life and the duties of his position. Our guide only spoke Yoruba so you might need an interpreter if you don't speak the language.

You'll learn about the history of Ife and the Yorubaland, about Oduduwa, Moremi and the past and present Oonis.

It could be agreed that Ile-Ife as the cradle of the Yoruba race is a home for all blacks, going by the rich cultural and Traditional heritage that are embedded in the ancient city, The palace is well situated and planned for royal and traditional activities. The structure of the palace is made of the Emese's court, Traditional court(headed by the Obalufe) and Supreme Traditional Council(headed by H.I.M). Also in the palace are administrative complex, security building and tourist attractions like the Yeyemoolu shrine, Origi Olofin and The Ogun Laadin(first blacksmith). I can't but acknowledge the beauty of the environment ranging from the architectural reflection to the serene condition, appearing within the range of the favourite colour combination of H.I.M. which are white, purple and gold. Ife people are loving and hospitable. - Eludire Oluwadamilare.
