Asante Traditional Buildings

Ten traditional buildings constructed with wooden frames and mud walls feature intricate geometrical patterns and symbolic reliefs across their surfaces.

These structures represent the remaining architectural legacy of the powerful Asante Empire, which reached its peak during the eighteenth century.

The buildings contain specific rooms designated for ritual activities, with three spaces for ceremonies and one restricted area housing sacred objects.

Local guides provide detailed tours of the structures, explaining the significance of the Adinkra symbols and architectural elements throughout the visit.

Master craftsmen in each village historically maintained these earthen buildings using specific techniques developed to withstand the tropical climate conditions.
