  Great place to learn about our history and slave trade, I think it’s a must visit for everyone it’s very underrated but impactful. But there was a bit of bad road leading to the town

  For a Fort built in 1520s, the building materials used then need to be applauded. The fort itself was built with clay material, flooring made of wood and stone pitch. Relatively smaller in comparison to other forts but the knowledge and lesson learnt are similar. Just beside the fort contains the burial remains of Anton Wilhelm Amo one of Africa and Ghana's foremost Philosopher.

  Although a small fort, especially in comparison to Cape Castle, it also has a rich history told with care and passion by the caretaker and tour guide Alex. Definitely worth a visit if you are nearby.

  First Fort constructed in Ghana, then Gold Coast by the Portuguese. It contained dungeons for both male and female slaves. Well positioned and gives a good view of the coast

  I love the history behind this fort. It is not a very big place though. I think it's a less visited site becos I didn't see any visitor coming there throughout the period I was around but it's worth the time. Our tour guard was also very friendly. However, the place needs a little renovation to make it attractive. In all, I loved the trip
