Jamestown Lighthouse

Jamestown, Accra's oldest area, is one of the city's two oldest districts. Usshertown is the second. Jamestown had settlements as early as the 17th century. It had already undergone significant development by the end of the nineteenth century. Jamestown is still used as an excellent fishing port today. Over time, the population of the area has increased dramatically.

The lighthouse is Jamestown's most visible structure. The original edifice dates from 1871 and was built by the British. The current construction, on the other hand, dates from the 1930s. The lighthouse in Jamestown stands at a towering 28 meters. You may obtain a bird's eye view of the Ussher Fort, the Bukom area, and the James Fort from the summit. Today, Jamestown is a major tourist destination and one of Ghana's most important historic monuments.
