The famous Lagos ‘golden church’ of St. Anthony has its entrance through the museum. You should definitely visit both of them, it’s really worthy.
The ‘Slave Market’ is at the opposite side of the church. It was the place where the slaves were sold. On a hill behind the fish market, you will find the church of St. Sebastian dating from 14th to 16th century.
