    The location on google maps is wrong. You can find it by asking the locals. But it is an abandoned place and unsafe to visit. I just admired it from a distance ( there are certain vantage points in Cape Coast you can see the fort from). Visited Fort William instead where there’s a resident and hence much safer.

    Abandonded Fort (just like Fort Williams), get a guide or driver to take you there. Stunning view of Cape Coast.

    The place could use a little bit of painting especially for the Panafest but it's a place of great history

    Provides a telescopic view of the historic town of Cape Coast. A blend of the old settlement and the new township giving a kaleidoscopic view
