Following the coast west of Accra, over a distance of 155 miles, you will be able to visit no less than 15 castles and forts, just as unexpected as they are grandiose, witnesses of the existence of slave trade and of the vanity of the European traders. Most of them are from the 17th and 18th centuries.
