Accra - Cape Coast - Elmina

Cape Coast Castle - Cape Coast Castle is a European-built fortress located on the central coastline of Ghana. Since its initial construction in 1652, the Castle served as a trading post for European nations and as the headquarters of British colonial administration for the Gold Coast Colony. Today, the Castle is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Elmina Castle - St. George Castle, also known as Elmina Castle, is situated in the Central Region of Ghana, about a 3.5-hour drive along the coast from Accra. It is the oldest European structure in sub-Saharan Africa. Construction of Elmina Castle was initiated by the Portuguese in 1482 and was completed in 1486. Later colonized by the Dutch in 1637, it was during this period that Elmina reached its peak status. Upon visiting, you will experience the tangible history of the slave trade, the impact of which is still felt beyond the shores of Africa today. Most visitors to Ghana tour Elmina Castle due to its history as a major trans-Atlantic slave hub. Originally, Elmina Castle was not built for the purpose of holding and trading slaves, but rather as a trading post for gold and other African goods. The name “Elmina” is derived from the Portuguese name “Da Costa de el Mina de Ouro” (The Coast of Gold Mines).
