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 language meaning Oman hyia – gathering of the people) is the seat of the Asantehene, as well as his official residence.[1] It is located at Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region. The first palace is now a museum. Otumfuor Opoku Ware II built the new palace, which is close to the old one and is used by the current Asantehene, Otumfuor Osei Tutu II.
