Cape Coast, Ghana: Cape Coast castle - cannons along the parapet - fortress used by several European nations to buy slaves from their African partners - colonial architecture - Originally a Portuguese factory outpost (a 'feitoria') established in 1555, the current building dates from 1637, a Dutch base, later conquered by Sweden under Henrik Carloff in 1652 and named Fort Carolusburg. Carloff operated the fortress as a trading post with the help of the Svenska Söderkompaniet. In 1660-1663 the local 'fetu' ruler conquered and occupied the castle. In 1659 it became Danish, in 1663 Swedish and in 1665 British (through Robert Holmes ). Now a museum. Triangular trade / Atlantic slave trade. UNESCO World Heritage site.
The fort was built in 1482 by the Portuguese on the Gold Coast, today's Ghana. Elmina Castle later became a major center of the transatlantic slave trade. It is thought to be the oldest surviving European building in Africa south of Sahara.
