The proof is in the pudding. Among the 40 slave castles built by European colonizers along the West African coast lies the Cape Coast Castle in Cape Coast, Ghana.
Originally built for gold and timber, it was later used to transfer slaves. The castle was controlled by the Swedish, Dutch and the British during various points in time.
The Cape Coast Castle features the infamous “Door of No Return” where slaves left the continent and more often than not, never returned home.
Other forts in Ghana include Elmina Castle and Fort Christiansborg.
