The dense forest of the Osun Sacred Grove is some of the last remnants of primary high forest in southern Nigeria. | UNESCO |
Through the forest meanders the river Osun, the spiritual abode of the river goddess Osun. | UNESCO |
Set within the forest sanctuary are forty shrines, sculptures and art works erected in honour of Osun and other Yoruba deities, many created in the past forty years, two palaces, five sacred places and nine worship points strung along the river banks with designated priests and priestesses. | UNESCO |
The new art installed in the grove has also differentiated it from other groves: Osogbo is now unique in having a large component of 20th century sculpture created to reinforce the links between people and the Yoruba pantheon, and the way in which Yoruba towns linked their establishment and growth to the spirits of the forest. | UNESCO |
