Lagos Island

Nigeria

Lagos Island connects to 1589 places across 17 topics through 48 Bunkabop connections, with industry, history, and architecture among its dominant threads. The island's built environment carries a distinct Brazilian imprint: returnee ex-slaves from Brazil introduced Portuguese-style facades that still define neighborhoods like Surulere and Yaba, while Ilojo Bar, designed in 1856, exemplifies the Brazilian Baroque style that took root here. Government institutions including the Nigerian Ports Authority headquarters anchor the marina. Many of the island's connections reach London and Brazil.
