About
Mapo Hall, perched atop Mapo Hill in Ibadan, is a colonial-era town hall completed in 1929 by the British administration under Captain William Ross. The building combines European civic architecture with tropical adaptations and was designed as the seat of the Ibadan Native Authority. Its hilltop location offers commanding views of the city, and it has served as a venue for historic political assemblies, including early nationalist meetings.
