Oke Ora (Yoruba: Òkè Ọ̀rà) is an ancient community and archaeological site situated on a hill about 8 km (5 miles) east of Ufẹ̀ (Ilé-Ifẹ̀), in between the city and the small village of Itagunmodi. Two important characters in the early history of Yorubaland; Oranife (Oramfe) and Oduduwa came from Oke Ora. Several stories and legends of the Yoruba people surround the site, and today, it continues to play an important role in certain religious rites of the Ife people, most siginpificantly, in the coronation rituals of the Owoni (Ooni), king of Ifẹ̀.
