Cape Coast Castle is a historic fortress located in Ghana, built by the Swedes in 1652 and later expanded by the British. It served as a major hub in the transatlantic slave trade, where enslaved Africans were held before being shipped to the Americas. The castle features dungeons, barracks, and a chapel, reflecting its complex history. Today, Cape Coast Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a museum that educates visitors about the impact of the slave trade. It stands as a reminder of the past and promotes discussions about human rights and reconciliation.
