Elmina Castle

Choose two or more items and save on your trip:

The fishing villages of Cape Coast, Ghana provide a source of economic stability for the city. Located next to Elmina Castle-a former slave trading post-the fishing ports are a colorful display and a must-see when visiting Ghana. Some other sites to see in Cape Coast include: The University of Cape Coast, Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Castle, and a variety of beautiful beaches.  #Culture #Ghana #CapeCoast
On the port of Cape Coast, Ghana. Fishermen preparing for a day at sea. #culture #ghana #elmina
Definitely worth the day trip from Cape Coast. Taken November 2010.
View from Elmina Castle. My visit there was one of the best and saddest moments of the trip to Ghana.
You can't really say how powerful it is going to be until you find yourself there.

P.S. More on my visit there and on what I felt (in Romanian)--

Elmina Castle was built by the Portuguese in Cape Coast, Ghana in the 1400s to ship africans during the slave trade. Many left their homeland through this castle and sadly, never returned. It now stands as a historical museum open to the public. #culture #ghana #travel

I didn't think the property remarkable at all. It was adverage at best. I only stayed one night and would probably not stay there again. I cannot compare this property to the others as I am unfamiliar with them.
