Ghana Part 13 "Slave Castle 1"

Here I am at the entrance to the slave castle off the coast of Ghana. Captured Africans were held here before they were put on ships to become slaves in Portugal, South America and America.
Here is a sign for the female slave dungeon. It was a small room, where over 400 women were kept!
Here is an overview of one section.
Here is a cannon.
Here is a view overlooking the city below.
