Historical Castles

If you are interested in history, you'll find that a top tourist attraction in the country of Ghana is the various forts and castles that the country has to offer.

One of the more interesting places in Ghana to visit when you're looking into castles and forts is the Cape Coast Castle. This is a beautiful castle that stands out on the coast and it actually dates back all the way back to the early 1600s.
It was taken over by the British in 1664 and there were literally millions of slaves that were shipped out through this castle. You'll still see the old cannons and you'll be able to take a tour of the castle and even get a look at the "Door of No Return", that so many slaves walked through.

Another castle that you'll want to consider visiting while you are in the country is the Elmina castle, which is not that far from Cape Coast. This was actually constructed back in the 1482 and is the earliest structure build by Europeans in the region.

You'll get to take a look at the dungeons that were used to hold slaves before they were shipped to Europe or America. You'll also learn that Elmina was where the first Catholic Church in Ghana was built.
