Elmina Castle (St George's Castle)

Elmina, Elmina · Central

The oldest European building in sub-Saharan Africa, a Portuguese-built castle and slave depot on Elmina's harbour.

The local tip

Climb to the top ramparts for the view over the fishing harbour, then walk down to the canoes rather than leaving straight away.

Confirm entry fees and tour availability, which change seasonally.
