Elmina Castle
A few shots from the Ghanaian slave trading fort of Elmina, originally built by the Portuguese in 1482 and subsequently part of the Dutch slave trade from 1637 on. A depot for slaves captured further inland by coastal tribes, hundreds of thousands of Africans transited through these walls en route to the colonies of the New World.
