A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Cape Coast Castle was another key location in the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Originally built by the Swedes in 1653 for timber and gold trading, it was later repurposed as a slave depot. Visitors can tour the dungeons and museum, which houses artifacts, maps, and records related to the slave trade. This emotional journey provides insight into the harsh realities faced by enslaved Africans before their forced departure through the “Gate of No Return.”
