Ghana – Cape Coast Castle

Ghana – Cape Coast Castle

Cape Coast Castle is a witness to Ghana’s history, carrying a heavy and indelible historical memory. It was once an important stronghold for European colonists to trade enslaved people, and most of the buildings in the castle were built between the 17th and 19th centuries. The tall and solid city walls and blockhouses bear witness to the defense needs of that era, while the cells, warehouses and other buildings inside the castle tell the dark history of the slave trade. The small and dark cells once held countless enslaved people who were sold, and the walls are engraved with their pain and struggle. Today, it has become a historical museum, showcasing this tragic history to visitors through exhibitions and explanations, with important historical and educational significance. Visitors can visit here to understand history, remember the past, and at the same time appreciate the unique architectural style of the castle and feel the vicissitudes of time.
