After visiting the Kakum canopy walk, we drove to Elmina, Ghana to visit the old slave-trading fort.

Originally built in 1482, it was eventually used in the slave trade

A catholic church stood in the middle, surrounded by slave dungeons

This is last view the slaves had on their way to the awaiting slave ships (long boats belonging to local fisherman are visible now)
