These day's it's known as Benin City, but Edo was once the capital of the Empire of Benin (most of which is now in modern-day Nigeria, none of which is in modern-day Benin). A prosperous, mighty, and well-organized African empire is, you'll all be
shocked to note, right up my street; I'm not sure whether it'd be more learning experience or pilgrimage, or if there's even a difference.
