Palais du Peuple, Legislative building in Conakry, Guinea.
The Palais du Peuple is a five-story building located downtown with dual entrance staircases that lead to a central courtyard. The structure includes a congress hall designed to host large-scale events.
The palace was built in 1967 through Chinese-Guinean cooperation and has served as the National Assembly headquarters since Guinea's independence from France. Major renovations in 2008 restored the building's full functionality.
The palace hosts major national ceremonies and political gatherings where the city comes together for important events. Its congress hall shows how this building reflects the central role of collective meetings in public life.
The palace is located at the entrance to the Kaloum peninsula and is easily accessible on foot from downtown areas. Visitors should know that as an active government building, it may not always be open for general touring.
The building displays Guinea's national coat of arms at its front, designed by Chinese architect Chen Dengao. This distinctive feature reflects the international partnership that shaped the entire project.
