Kosyam Palace

Kosyam Palace is a government building in southeastern Ouagadougou with classical features including a grand facade and symmetrical design spread across multiple levels. The structure displays typical proportions and order of classical architecture with well-defined lines and balanced composition.

The building was completed in 2005 as part of modernizing Burkina Faso's government infrastructure. This founding coincided with the nation's efforts to renew and upgrade its administrative facilities.

The palace hosts national celebrations and state functions that shape the country's political life. Visitors can recognize from outside the building's role as a symbol of governmental authority that marks important national events.

The building sits in the Ouaga 2000 district with direct proximity to other government buildings and administrative facilities. The central location makes it easily accessible from the main roads.

The design comes from Congolese architect Michel I. Tshibuabua, who integrated African architectural elements into the classical design concept. This blend of international style and African influences shapes the building's appearance.
