Overview

Discover the historical Cape Coast Castle as well as the Kakum Forest which serve as powerful reminders of the past, offering educational and reflective experiences. Cape Coast Castle served as one of the major hubs for the transatlantic slave trade from the 16th to 19th centuries. It was a holding point for enslaved Africans before they were shipped across the Atlantic to the Americas. The “Door of No Return” is a poignant reminder of this dark history. Alongside other forts and castles in Ghana, Cape Coast Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its role in shaping global history. Visiting Cape Coast Castle is a deeply moving experience, as the dungeons and exhibits bring history to life in a way that few other sites can. It has become a significant site for African Americans and other members of the African diaspora seeking to connect with their ancestry. Cape Coast Castle is one of the most visited and well-preserved on both local and global narratives.
