Palais du bord de mer, Presidential residence in Libreville, Gabon
The Palais du Bord de Mer stands along the coast of Libreville, featuring a combination of European architecture and traditional Gabonese design elements.
Lebanese-Ivorian architect Pierre Fakhoury designed and constructed the presidential palace in 1977 under the direction of President Omar Bongo.
The palace functions as a venue for national ceremonies and governmental events, representing the intersection of political power and Gabonese traditions.
Public access to the palace remains restricted due to security measures, though visitors can view the building's exterior and surrounding grounds.
In August 2023, the palace became the focal point of political change when a military coup was announced within its walls.
