Besease, Kumasi · Ashanti
UNESCO-listed shrines with painted bas-relief walls, the last surviving examples of classical Asante architecture.
The local tip
The Besease shrine is the easiest to reach from Kumasi; a local guide is essential to read the symbolism of the wall panels.
Check before leaving
Confirm the caretaker will be present, as these are scattered sites with limited staffing.
