The palace of the Olu of Warri, the traditional ruler of the Itsekiri people and one of Nigeria's first-class traditional chiefs, is in the centre of town. The Olu is an ancient institution — the Itsekiri kingdom predates the Portuguese arrival in the 15th century. The palace is not normally open to casual tourists but is a significant landmark and the ceremonial centre of traditional Warri.
