The Seat of the Asantehene
Home of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and the living heart of the Asante Kingdom — its ceremonies, its people and its stewardship of tradition.
The Royal Family
The Golden Stool is held in trust by the Asantehene, with the Asantehemaa as custodian of the royal lineage.
From the Palace
One nation, one Golden Stool
Osei Tutu I and the priest Okomfo Anokye united the Akan states around Kumasi under the Golden Stool, Sika Dwa Kofi — the soul of the Asante nation. Three centuries on, Manhyia remains the heart of that union.
