It is believed that the chief will not live in the palace when it is complete. Instead, he's building it to promote tourism in the town. There are a lot of dog statues in the court because the chief is from the Aduana Clan, which has its totem as a dog.

However, it is claimed that dogs are banned from the Assin Kushea town because one of the king's dogs attacked a town resident. Also, there are a lot of statues on the various pillars of the palace that are depictions of African proverbs.

Osu Castle And Other Castles In Ghana That Could Have Been The Official Residence Of Queen Elizabeth In Ghana

In an earlier story, YEN.com.gh wrote about castles in Ghana that could have been Queen Elizabeth's official residence if she ruled in Ghana. It is well known that monarchs reside in castles, such as the British queen who lived at Buckingham Palace.

Osu Castle and Elmina Castle, two Ghanaian castles, are large enough to compete with Buckingham Palace and serve as Queen Elizabeth II's formal homes if she were a Ghanaian. The Portuguese, Danes, and other colonizers constructed the castles in Ghana as their administrative centres and temporary holding facilities for enslaved people throughout the colonial era.
