Independence House, Office building at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, Nigeria
Independence House rises 103 meters into the sky with 23 floors, making it a key element of the Lagos skyline near Tafawa Balewa Square.
Constructed in 1961, the tower marked Nigeria's transition from British colonial rule to independence, serving as a symbol of governmental administration.
The structure stands near the National Museum and Terra Kulture, forming part of a district that presents Nigeria's progression through architecture and arts.
The building remains accessible throughout the year, with multiple transportation options available from different parts of Lagos to reach its central location.
The building's position next to statues of horses at Tafawa Balewa Square creates a visual connection between modern architecture and traditional Nigerian symbolism.
