SURNAME CULTURAL LANDSCAPE

The Surname Cultural Landscape is a site famous for its historical and cultural value, and is notable amongst the tourist places in Nigeria. The visitors still get to see the ancient walls standing, albeit most of them being broken now or in dilapidated condition.

The site is a witness of ancient settlements of Nigeria and the millet stalks used to construct the walls provide an insight into their lifestyle. The whole area is basically constructed as a kingdom, with fortifications made of stone, trenches, wells and other structures abound. The place is definitely a heaven for tourists with an archaeological interest, and attracts people throughout the year.
