This castle in Cape Coast, Ghana—once known as the Gold Coast of West Africa—was one of around 40 castles that served as prisons and embarkation points for slaves en route to the Americas (the Caribbean, South America, and the U.S.). Thousands of enslaved Africans from regions near and far, sometimes hundreds of miles away, were taken to these castles to be sold to slave ships.
