Bamun sultan palace, Official residence and monument in Foumban, Cameroon

The Bamun Sultan Palace stands with a double-headed snake symbol on its facade and houses a collection of 12,500 historical artifacts.

Founded in 1394, the palace has served nineteen successive kings, including King Njoya who created a writing system and established a museum in 1922.

The palace museum displays traditional royal regalia, ceremonial objects, and documents that represent the heritage of the Bamoun kingdom.

The palace contains exhibition halls, administrative offices, and ceremonial spaces that maintain the functions of the current Bamoun administration.

The architectural design incorporates the Double Bell symbol, representing patriotism and the unity of royal troops within the Bamoun kingdom.
