This cathedral has been a long-standing feature in Adum. It is said that the missionaries who came to plant the church were killed by lions, and that the statue of a man standing on a lion in front of the church is testament of victory over that or something like that.
Kumasi Fort
The museum buildings is housed in the Kumasi Fort, built by the British in 1896 after they destroyed the Asante Fort that used to stand here. The museum predominantly features information and artefacts related to the British-Asante War, but also includes many artefacts from World War I, World War II, and information about modern Ghanaian military history.
