Elmina Castle
About this attraction
Built by the Portuguese in 1482, Elmina Castle (São Jorge da Mina) is the oldest European building in sub-Saharan Africa and another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle played a central role in the Atlantic slave trade. A guided tour reveals the male and female dungeons, the Governor's courtyard, and the harrowing "Door of No Return."
