Urugwiro, Presidential residence in Kacyiru, Rwanda
Located in the capital city Kigali, Village Urugwiro functions as both a residential complex and administrative center for the President of Rwanda.
The establishment was constructed specifically to host the sixth Franco-African Summit in May 1979, marking a milestone in Rwanda's diplomatic relations.
The residence incorporates architectural elements that reflect Rwanda's national identity while maintaining its role as a center for governmental activities.
Access to Village Urugwiro requires advance security clearance, as the compound primarily serves for official state functions and diplomatic meetings.
The facility underwent a 24-million-dollar renovation program to modernize its infrastructure while preserving its status as Rwanda's primary diplomatic venue.
