Located at Akpakpava in Benin city, it is known to be the church of the Oba & the elderly binis, thou the church is very open to the public... Combination of catholic & traditional rites... Oldest church in Benin city(maybe one of the oldest in 9ja) dates back to the coming of the Portuguese to Benin Kingdom...

This historic cathedral is a reminder of how the past remains a major part of our future. Christianity came to the Benin Kingdom through the visits of missionaries who got the king baptized and built a place of worship that has remained relevant till date.

The Holy Aruosa Cathedral is a historic worship place for the Benin people. Partly, a symbol of the early Christian influence on the Benin culture, the structure was initially built by the Portugese as a place of worship during their expedition to Benin City, in 1506 it became known as the Holy Aruosa Cathedral, under the then leadership of Oba Esigie. The Church, said to be the oldest church in Africa, was established by the Portuguese before they started the Roman Catholic and other churches. Today, it is common to see tourists from America and Europe visiting the church. The purpose of their visit is to come and see the first church in Nigeria because according to them, they have seen that the establishment of churches in Nigeria have been expanding.
