Presidential Palace, Presidential palace in Kaloum district, Conakry, Guinea

The Presidential Palace sits behind Sainte-Marie Cathedral in Kaloum and features classical architecture with symmetrical facades. The entire compound is surrounded by formally designed green spaces and security installations.

The palace was built during French colonial rule as a governor's residence. A major reconstruction took place in 1983 with support from the People's Republic of China.

The palace embodies executive power in Guinea and functions as a venue for official ceremonies and meetings with foreign delegations. Visitors can observe the formal layout of the compound with its structured gardens and the strong security presence from outside.

Access is not possible without official authorization, as the location is under strict military control. Visitors can view the palace only from a distance outside the perimeter.

The site played a central role in military actions during September 2021 that led to political changes in the nation. These events made the compound a place of historical significance for Guinea.
