About

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 Manhyia, 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.
