It was an awesome experience to learn the history of the Egba people palace sources.
The Paramount Ruler of Egbaland His Royal Majesty Oba Dr Aremu Gbadebo was very hospitable. He welcome all guest with open hands
Its a beautiful Ancient Palace..
Its a lovely place
I did not enter the main palace, just the compound. There is an health post there (Covid vaccination ongoing there).The palace entrance and parking space is shared with some residential houses
Alakes Palace gave me joy. There was a sense of pride I felt just by being there, the rich cultural presence was potent, very hard to miss though Im not from Abeokuta I felt like I belonged there, it reminded me so much of my home town, Esie, especially the artifacts beautifully assembled made me feel at home.
Very quiet environment with loads of traditional artefacts. Whoever is keen on knowing the history of Egba land should waste no time but visit the Ake palace
The homestead of the Paramount Ruler of the Egba tribe. A big Palace, very historical and traditional. The Alake of Egbaland (Abeokuta) is the Head of all Traditional Chiefs in Abeokuta.
Very lovely and beautiful palace, Accomdation people.
Very good Tourist Center.
It was a great and exciting experience for me and a lovely place
A fantastic place for culture and history. This is the palace of the Paramount ruler of the Ẹgba people of southwest, Nigeria, a Yoruba stock.The palace ground is almost always a beehive of activities all year round.
Nice place
Olumo rock is a beautiful tourist centre.
A fantastic place to be.
Cool an Nice
The egbaland palace ground was cool and quiet but the museum was under construction when I visited. Its free to enter the main gate and take pictures around but no entry at the main palace gate except on appointment. The roads are good and the place has been given a major uplift. It was nice visiting here.
Just right in front of the Centenary building. Good place for a small show
Nothing to see there... Until museum is open and available, it isnt a tourist sore at all.
Simply splendid... A wonderful place
The Paramount Rulers of Egba land palace
Very peaceful and quiet environment..
A place for Prince and Princess.
Its a nice place to be
The palace is massive and beautiful place in Abeokuta...
Alakes palace rejuvenation and generality of developments in Abeokuta,as the state capital, are pointers to the fulfillment of the age long Ifa oracle prediction that with the enthronement of the 10th Alake, Egbaland will witness a phenomenal growth/development. This is exactly the case now. God is wonderful
The museum is still under construction.... Was told it will be ready by next year after which visitors will be able to see ancient relics in the museum, the ancient garden in the Palace, the old Palace and the idi ère.. The people were very receptive. Youll be able to see the idi ere though when you visit now
Good place for a traditional place and more spacious
Is looking fine and security working perfectly
Alake and paramount ruler of Egbaland Oba Adedotun Gbadebo is my father that l cherished so much because of his care and love for humanities. My prayers that Baba continue to receive divine blessings of sound health,providence and long reign on the throne in Jesus name 🙏
Good fuel
Very nice place and the alake is very accommodating
Good
Alakes palace has always been a historic landmark, I grew up not too far from it and I still remember our visits to the palace when I was younger.Its good to know that the palace is still very well taken care of, still draw tourists who wishes to know about the Yoruba cultural values and the King is still very respected.I had fun visiting and renewing my knowledge of our values!
A traditional institution of repute, sacred and beautiful
Splendid
The palace of the Alake of Egba land.Nice place to be
Great Accent palace
They welcome us well, beautiful environment
Beautiful
At the Paramount Ruler of Egba Lands Palace. An historical ground.
Nice place. We were allowed to walk around. Although I expected to have a Palace staff take us round.
Abeokuta
We had a rather not so smooth start at the palace as 10 people were sitting at the gate and one took offense that I didnt greet the baba before trying to enter. So after we clarified the issue with the greeting we got some sort of a mini tour of the place. What I love is the sculptural work and the drawings on the walls. This old palace is now being used as a civil court and it is worth a visitBut be sure to greet baba at the gate 😁
Seriously i love the palace....clean and beautiful
Historical monument
Stepping into our rich history. Well maintained palace
A mega palace
Its the home of His Royal Majesty, The Alake of Egbaland
It is a beautiful palace that has every touch of the cutlrual heritage of the Yoruba people. From the way the King is revered by those who surround him, he commands respect in the way he dresses, walks and talks.
This is Aké
Not bad
The home of the Egbas. The royal majestys abode. If youre an indigene of Egba and youve not been here, pls revisit Abeokuta. Proudly Egba!

Went here during the holidays to learn about the history of the palace and know more about the Alake. We had a tour guide who took is round and explained what we needed to know.
Mildly Guarded... Old ancestral ground

The palace of the Paramount ruler of Egbaland. The ground is used for several social-cultural and religious activities.
Nice experience. You get to know about the growth of Egba land.
Nice palace and so lovely i enjoyed the palace
The palace built by The British imperial government for the paramount ruler of Egbaland. Behind the place is an hospital known as the Sacred heart Hospital built by the Catholic Mission. The hospital had moved to a new site in Lantoro. The old site is now an historic building.
That is where we have our Monarch. The A lake of Egbaland. Kaaaaabiyesi oooo.

Palace of the paramount ruler of Egbaland...Culture and Pride
Oba of egbalands palace.. You have to hold a gift for the Alake while visiting i.e 2 bottles of schnapps. We were taken around by the Obankie, he attended to us on behalf of the ọba and he told us great stories of the Yoruba tribe and the origin of egbaland.. Its a welcoming environment with lots of arts that showcase the history of Yorubaland
Nice structure and accommodating king
Really awesome historical location
Best palace in Abeokuta
Combination of ancient plus civilisation.
Cool place to be
