As I walked into the castle I felt humbled. I felt the presence of my ancestors straight away. It was a real eye opener. I fulljoy the tour. Learned a lot.

Very educational tour. A place that you should visit if you go to Ghana. The building is not special, but the atrocities should not be forgotten.

Everyone reports on the beauty but step back close your eyes imagine the whole are including where you are standing is flat suddenly a noise in the sky you look up see fire hurtling down towards you crash you hear and see nothing. That is the power of this place and it will happen again somewhere. Feel that?

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 7 reviews
It is a tourist site where slaves had their last bath and we have the remains of some slaves buried there.
Reviewed By jreich21 - Philadelphia, United States
This site was one of the largest slave markets for gathering people to sell into slavery during the infamous Atlantic slave trade years. It is especially worth seeing as a prelude to viewing Cape Coast slave fort, which is what my group did, since you will be following the route taken by the ancestors of many African Americans, The site is less touristy and more simple than Cape Coast slave fort, but that only heightened the sense that I was on "sacred ground," in a sense, of people who were forced to endure incredible barbarity and torture. I highly recommend including this site with a tour of any of the slave forts. Very emotionally moving.
9. W.E.B. DuBois Center
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 107 reviews
This is the home, library and final resting place of American-born crusader for social justice, William Edward Burghardt DuBois.
Reviewed By LouisaZ32
Definitely worth visiting if interested in learning something new. This is the home of W.E.B. DuBois at which he lived until his death in 1963. It is now a museum and his burial site. Lots to see- library, burial site, photos, information on prominent black political figures, personal items, graduation gowns and paintings. You can also walk around the grounds. Personal tour given on request. Kingsley was excellent. Fee for entrance and tour is 7 Cedis. Worth checking out the Diaspora African Forum just behind. Informative tour of the exterior given by Clement. Nice way to spend a few hours.
10. Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park
Overall Ratings

A small museum dedicated to the country's founding father.
Reviewed By MarshallB429 - Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
Very interesting, important history, with knowledgeable guides, this memorial park is more of a small museum than a park. Plan two hours. Learn and understand. It’s quite moving when one learns about the bravery and resourcefulness of pan-African leadership in the middle of last century. Onward and upward.... always forward.
