[edit] Surviving Buildings

"No trace remains of the structures admired by European travelers to "the Great Benin." " This isn't strictly correct; there remains a building called "Ancient House" about a twenty minute walk from the Oba's Palace, which survived the 1897 fire. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.235.100.84 (talk) 18:31, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
