Igun Street

Igun Street (UNESCO World Heritage Site)

Known as the cradle of Benin bronze casting, Igun Street is where craftsmanship meets cultural memory. The sound of hammers and the sight of molten metal tell stories of an art form passed down through generations.

Here, you’ll see traditional guild members creating world-renowned Benin bronzes using the same lost-wax techniques their ancestors perfected. Igun Street is more than a marketplace—it’s a living archive of artistry, heritage, and resilience.
