Architectural designs are some of the attractions that draw tourists into a country. And one peculiar thing about them is that they speak about the time they are built-in. Some of the very revered buildings in Nigeria are Christ Church Cathedral in Lagos, Jaekel House in Lagos, Lagos Colonial Secretariat, first European storey building in Nigeria, Badagry, Kajuru Castle in Kaduna, Oba of Benin Royal Palace in Benin, and Lugard Hall in Kaduna. 1. Christ Church Cathedral, Lagos The Cathedral Church of Christ Marina, Lagos is an Anglican cathedral on Lagos Island, Lagos. The foundation stone for the first cathedral building was laid on 29 March 1867, and the cathedral was established in 1869. 2. Jaekel House, Lagos Located inside the Ebute-Metta premises of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, Jaekel House is a restored colonial mansion. It now serves as a railway museum and photo gallery of the NRC’s colonial era. https://gyonlineng.com/oldest-buildings-in-nigeria/
