Elmina Castle / Cape Coast Castle - Year of Return: All Africans in Diaspora must visit the Castles

Cape Coast Castle is one of about forty "slave castles", or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa by European traders. It was originally a Portuguese "feitoria" or trading post, established in 1555. However in 1653 the Swedish Africa Company constructed a timber fort there. Elmina Castle was erected by the Portuguese in 1482 as Castelo de São Jorge da Mina, also known as Castelo da Mina or simply Mina in present-day Elmina, Ghana. It was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest European building in existence south of the Sahara. #THESEEKER #CASTLE #DUNGEONS #FORT #COVTVGHANA #HOWTO #GHANAENTERTAINMENT #GHANACELEBRITIES #GHANAMUSIC #GHANANEWS #1ONTRENDING #GHANACELEBS #GHANATRENDINGNEWS #HOTGOSSIP #CELEPSGOSSIP #DANCETUNE Please SUBSCRIBE for more EXCLUSIVE videos!    / @covtvghana   SPECIAL THANKS TO: All Staffs at Cape Coast/Elmina Castles Mr. Ato Ashun (Narrator / Director)
