There are a lot of castles or forts in Ghana, the most talked about is the Osu, cape coast and may be Elmina castle. My very first castle I visited was the cape coast castle suited in the central part of Ghana. The experience was pregnant with sad history of our forefathers on how they suffered a while back. On one of my frequents trips to cape coast, I decided to alight at abandze to visit this beautiful fort located on the hilly part of abandze. I was quite inquisitive to find out about it, since it wasn’t my first time seeing it from afar. Upon arriving I was marveled to see how beautiful and old the fort is.
I was welcomed by the tour guide and we had an amazing time, telling me about the history of the fort. Well, I must say it was a mixed feeling considering how beautiful the place is and tainted its history is too. Having spent some time at the fort, I believe it’s about time people, locals, tourist check out different places in Ghana because has so much to offer.
Next time when visiting cape coast, make a stop at abandze to check out Fort Amsterdam.
Absolutely love this. I never knew about these other castles before reading this. Definitely a must visit!!
