Presidential Palace, Niamey

The Presidential Palace in Niamey serves as the official residence of the President of Niger. Situated along the Boulevard de la République by the Niger River, this modern palace was built in the early 2020s, replacing the colonial-era structure that had stood since Niger's independence in 1960. The palace gained international attention during a coup attempt on July 26, 2023, when President Mohamed Bazoum was targeted while inside. This site is not only a political hub but also a significant landmark reflecting Niger's contemporary history.
