| Page Views: 4,134 Last Visit to Kumasi: December, 2006 | The centre of the Ashanti Kingdom by grets - last update: Jan 21, 2007 |
| The bustling heart of the city |
Kumasi was once the capital city of the Ashanti Kingdom and a beautiful town of whitewashed buildings with thatched roofs. Then came the British. The old city was burnt down in 1873, followed by prolonged fighting between the two sides. Kumasi was annexed to the British Gold Coast colony in 1902.
Today Kumasi is a fast-paced, bustling city with no real historical centre. It is Ghana’s second city with over a million inhabitants. |

Ah, this was the town where you met the king :-) I like this market but ah, getting lost in there must be quite a thing.... Interesting story about the freedom war. | sachara Thu Jan 25, 2007 18:25 UTC
Great your meeting with the king. In the early 80s I visited also the cultural museum. At the huge market my host found out that the allergic reaction of my skin was caused by snails I had eaten earlier that week at a farewell party. | SLLiew Thu Jan 18, 2007 16:54 UTC
Drums for communication. That caught my eye. :) |
