Okomfo Anokye Sword site is the exact location the Asante kingdom started. The legendary fetish priest of the Asantes called Okomfo Anokye planted a sword on the ground and told the Asantes that he is not planting the sword to throw a challenge to any other person, but to signify the unity among the Asantes. Since then nobody has been able to uproot the sword from the ground. He planted the sword in 1695 and nobody has been able to pull it including the late former heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali.

Manhyia Palace Museum is the building which the britishes built for the Asantes as compensation when their king was returning from exile in Seychelles, but the Asantes rejected their offer and later paid for it before using it as their palace.

This museum keep the things the Asantes were using in the olden days like the traditional kitchen and bath setup of the Asante king.
