The Manhyia Palace is the official residence and seat of the Asantehene, the monarch of the Ashanti Kingdom, located in Kumasi, the capital of the Ashanti Region. It is a center of traditional governance, culture, and history, where the King hosts visitors from across the world during private audiences, state functions, and traditional ceremonies. A major attraction within the palace grounds is the Manhyia Palace Museum, which was once the residence of past Ashanti Kings. In 1995, it was rehabilitated and opened to the public as a museum. The museum now showcases royal regalia, historic artifacts, and archival records of the Ashanti Kingdom, drawing millions of visitors annually. The site reflects the rich cultural legacy and continued relevance of the Ashanti monarchy in modern Ghana.
