It is Holy Aruosa Cathedral in Benin City: Founded in 1517

Holy Aruosa Cathedral (founded in 1517) is a church located at Akpakpava in Benin City, Edo, Nigeria. It was founded by Oba Esigie (son of Queen Idia) and Portuguese missionaries. It is commonly called the church of the Oba of Benin and the elderly Binis (people of Benin). It is one of the oldest churches in Nigeria, which can be traced back to the coming of Portuguese.
