Manhyia Palace

Manhyia Palace. This is the principal front façade, originally constructed and completed in 1925. It acquired its present appearance following a remodelling, in 1995.

The Manhyia Palace (Akan: Oman hyia, English: Gathering of the people) is the seat of the Asantehene, as well as his official residence. It is located in Tafo, Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The first palace is now a museum. Otumfuor Opoku Ware II built the new palace, which is close to the old one and is where the current Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II, resides.[1]
