Idanre Hill

[2][3] Its wide variety on cultural sites as 'Owa's Palace', shrines, The Old Court, Belfry, Agbooogun footprint, thunder water (Omi Apaara) and burial grounds have since brought the location fame and the nation's nomination for the UNESCO World Heritage Site shortlist.

Added to its beauty which fires human curiosity is the fact that the entire people of Idanre lived on these boulders for almost a millennium.

However the festivals provides occasions for reconciliation of the low-landers and their natural environments as well as reenactments or historical episodes in local Idanre history and its wider Yoruba ideology, mythology and confederacy.

[7] Idanre Hill is located on a Precambrian igneous batholith that is about 500 Million years old, and is cut by several large fracture that form deep valleys within the rocks.

Arun river Amietophrynus perreti, or the Perret's toad, is only known from a single locality at the Idanre Hill.

[16] The missionaries built the first primary school in the year 1896 of which the clay building still stands strong till this day.

In the year 1906, a law court was established which includes an ancient prison where the convicts spend their jail term.
