Multiple roads and roundabouts were asphalted making movements within the city much faster.

Royal Family

The headquarters of the royal family is located within the Palais Royal de Tenkodogo (colloquially known as Na-Yiri in Mooré language) located at a close proximity to the market (Marchè de Tenkodogo or Tenkodogo Raaga in Mooré language).

The current head of the family is His Majesty King Naba Guiguem-Pollé, King of the Kingdom of Tenkodogo and Rima of Zoungrantenga.
