恩施土司城又称墨卫楼,坐落于湖北省恩施市西北对山湾,占地面积300余亩。恩施土司城是全国唯一一座规模最大、工程最宏伟、风格最独特、景观最靓丽的土家族地区土司文化标志性建筑群。
恩施土司城包括门楼、侗族风雨桥、廪君祠、校场、土家族民居、土司王宫(九进堂)、城墙、钟楼、鼓楼、百花园、白虎雕像、卧虎铁桥、听涛茶楼、民族艺苑等12个景区30余个景点,反映了土家族的历史渊源,展示了土家族古老而淳厚的民风民俗。恩施土司城门楼也称土司朝门或看楼,是显示土司威仪和功德的纪念性建筑,外观庄重华丽,建筑内容则集中体现了土家族的人文思想、空间观念和技术上的聪明才智。著名社会学家费孝通先生亲笔题写“恩施土司城”牌匾。
恩施土司城以展示民族文化为主要内容,主要分为民族文化展示区、宗教展示区、娱乐活动区。
