The House of Slaves is a historical site located on Gorée Island, off the coast of Senegal. Built in the 18th century, it served as a holding place for enslaved Africans before they were shipped to the Americas. The building is a poignant reminder of the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on African communities. Today, the House of Slaves is a museum that attracts visitors from around the world. It features exhibits that educate people about the history of slavery, the conditions enslaved individuals faced, and the cultural heritage of the African diaspora.
