The Regional Museum invites visitors to get acquainted with the history of the city and see the priceless works of art. Its main advantage is a collection of old boats; one of the halls of the museum is dedicated to the pictures of 17th-18th centuries. Another bright feature of Lagos is an abundance of beautiful churches and cathedrals. One should visit the church of St. Sebastian located on one of the highest hills. It is a beautiful building with high towers and an amazing hand-made wooden altar.
During the tour, vacationers can admire the ancient religious building, as well as enjoy the panoramic view that can be seen from the hill. An important object is the church of Carmo, which is the surviving part of an old monastery. Today, the biggest part of the building is in ruins, but due to surviving fragments visitors can appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the former structure. The church of St. Mary is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. It was completed in the first half of the 15th century. From the first building only beautiful wooden gate has survived; in the 18th century the church was completely rebuilt. A lot of interesting stories are associated with this church, for example, in 1460 the funeral of Henry the Navigator was held there.
