Preserving a Legacy of Peace
The Kiriji Heritage Conservation Foundation is a cultural, historical, and developmental organization dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Kiriji War and the 1886 peace treaty that reunited the Yoruba people.
We are transforming that history into a living landscape for peace dialogue, heritage tourism, cultural exchange, and sustainable development.
The vision of this group is the existing Kiriji Memorial as the epic city: Emerging urban vibrancy guided by outstanding cultural, political, social, & economic history.

PROPOSED KIRIJI CITY PARK
The proposed Kiriji Peace Treaty Park is envisioned as a heritage and cultural landscape dedicated to preserving and interpreting the legacy of the Kiriji Peace Treaty, which brought an end to the Kiriji War; the longest civil conflict in Yoruba history.
Conceived as a candidate for recognition by UNESCO, the park will integrate memorial architecture, interpretive museums, research and documentation centers, and immersive cultural spaces that highlight indigenous conflict resolution systems, diplomacy, and inter-kingdom relations.
