Palais Mohammed V (Mohammed V Palace), Conakry

The Mohammed V Palace, originally known as the Palais des Nations, serves as a significant public building with a storied history. Constructed to serve as the headquarters for the Organization of African Unity, its role has evolved considerably over the years. The building suffered extensive damage in 1996 due to a bombing incident during a mutiny by the Guinean army, leading to a long period of abandonment.

After being left derelict for nearly 15 years, it underwent a major renovation to prepare for the 40th summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's foreign ministers in December 2013. The renaming of the palace was a symbolic gesture by Professor Alpha Condé in 2014, coinciding with an official visit from King Mohammed VI of Morocco. Following the 2021 Coup d'Etat in Guinea, the palace has become the seat of power for Mamadi Doumbouya, marking a new chapter in its historical significance.
