Explore Cape Coast Castle, another important fortress on Ghana's coast with a dark history intertwined with the Atlantic slave trade. Constructed by European traders in the 17th century, the fort served as a hub for the transatlantic slave trade, holding thousands of enslaved Africans in brutal conditions before they were transported to the Americas. Nowadays, the castle houses a museum that offers a harrowing insight into the realities of the slave trade, and the site has become an important landmark for African diaspora heritage tourism.
