We were going to Centenary Hall Plaza in Sagamu and erroneously inputted Centenary Hall Abeokuta. That's how we ended up here. Lol! I took the opportunity to enjoy the sights and sounds of Abeokuta. This hall looked unkempt on the outside. No parking space within it. There were a few men sitting on the stairs gisting. More like miscreants/homeless. They looked 'friendly' though. I got to find out this place is supposed to be a historical spot.

The structure is still in good shape but needs some maintance. The hall is dated 1830 it has always been used for meetigs and other events. Till today according to the people we met there it can still be rented out. It has a main stage and serveral stairways leading to the second level. The Main hall area has pictures of the accient traditional rulers and Oba's mother hanging on the wall.
Good place
A wonderful heritage site but unfortunately, I didn't see any traces of maintenance to keep the structure solid and befitting for tourist attraction except for the exterior yellow painting. From my understanding, it's a celebratory hall built in 1930 to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of Abeokuta city in 1830. I love the concept behind it and the structure stands alone with relics and portraits of past influential leaders of the egbaland on display along the walls of the hall.
A centre of Absolutely history
Great monument
Great structural view
A building of historical significance but poorly maintained, and defaced by posters. A turn off through and through.
