Forts and Castles, Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western Region

In Ghana, this is the country's second UNESCO World Heritage Site. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, several fortified trading posts were constructed. These majestic structures stretch over about 500 kilometers, nestled between the coasts of Beyin and Keta in the west and east, respectively.

Traders from Denmark, Britain, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden were among the fort's various inhabitants over the century. As a result, they played a significant role in the gold and slave trades. Ghana's forts are in better condition than forts in surrounding countries. This structure was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
