Zaria is a metropolitan city in Nigeria which lies within four local government areas in Kaduna State; it is the capital city to the Zazzau Emirate Council, and one of the original seven Hausa city-states and a major city in the state.
Zaria holds significant architectural importance in Nigeria's cultural heritage. Although the architecture of Zaria is part of the renowned Hausa Architecture, we must highlight the relevant abundance and quality of its brilliant architecture at all levels: Domestic architecture (houses), Palaces, walls, doors and mosques.
We highlight its old mosque, recently destroyed by an earthquake, which is or was an authentic Hausa jewel.
