The Olubadan Palace, known as *Ile Olubadan*, is not just the seat of power in Ibadan — it is the living heart of the city’s cultural and political identity. A symbol of unity, authority, and history, the palace stands as the guardian of Ibadan’s royal legacy.
The palace is the official residence of the Olubadan of Ibadanland, the supreme traditional ruler who embodies centuries of Yoruba monarchy. The palace serves as the venue for royal meetings, chieftaincy ceremonies, and cultural preservation.
From coronations to annual festivals, the palace remains the cultural heartbeat of Ibadan. It hosts royal councils, traditional court sessions, and ceremonies that showcase the honor, bravery, and unity of the Ibadan people.
