Ghana
Background pages
feature attractions such as the following:
Elmina
and Cape Coast Castles
Scattered
along Ghana's Atlantic Coast are 26 historic stone and
concrete structures, built over 400 years ago by the
Europeans . Originally intended as trading posts, they ended
up as slave dungeons for millions of Africans, captured and
forced into slavery. Many dungeons have been restored to
their original form, as testimonials to the drama and
tragedy of human encounter. The slave castles of Elmina and
Cape Coast, are two recently designated as World Heritage
monuments. Together with the Dubois Memorial Center for Pan
African Culture in Accra, they crystallize the African
experience of slavery, partition, colonialism, racism and
the struggle for independence, emancipation and human
rights.
