The architectural style depends heavily on culture and tradition. Owo people's language, songs, festivals, folktales, lore, chants, history, and literature are all influenced by their vibrant cultural activities. Cultural diversity is important because it brings members of a given culture together and fosters cultural awareness and avenues. The traditional architecture of the Owo people in the Yoruba south-western region of Nigeria is fully integrated with the notion of art and culture. Using the Olowo palace in Owo, Ondo state as a case study. This study examined how cultural variation and morphology impact palace building in Nigeria. Data was sourced from field work, through oral interviews and relevant scoped literature. Purposively selected photographs of palaces ‘Agbofen’ are used in discussing the state of the architecture and sculpture objects, therefore raises the enquiry of their connotation for upcoming generations. Findings, showed that the courtyards ('ugha') and other structures within the old palace ('Agbofen'), were built when the city was created. It ends with characteristics of the owo palace's adornment, providing clear guidance on the major functions of particular elements in the palace's cultural beliefs and customs. There were as many as 100 courtyards in the Olowo castle (Ugha). Each courtyard served a special purpose and was devoted to a distinct deity. For public gatherings and festivals, the largest, which is believed to have been twice the size of an American football field, was used. This study concluded on how cultural distinctiveness, which was reflected in the vernacular design of Olowo's palace in Owo, one of Africa's largest palaces, affected the urban form as well as people's sense of self-worth, interpersonal relationships, and self-identity in Owo town, Ondo state.
