The fishing villages of Cape Coast, Ghana provide a source of economic stability for the city. Located next to Elmina Castle-a former slave trading post-the fishing ports are a colorful display and a must-see when visiting Ghana. Some other sites to see in Cape Coast include: The University of Cape Coast, Kakum National Park, Cape Coast Castle, and a variety of beautiful beaches.  #Culture #Ghana #CapeCoast

Cape Coast Castle is a stark reminder of how evil and wicked humans can become. From the Africans who sold their own people, to the various nations who bought them to resale for additional profit, it is a tragic story. While slavery has been a blight as far back as we can trace human history, it is never right and can never be justified. To walk around this place and hear the true accounts of what happened will shake anyone who has a heart. When you stand at the door marked "the gate of no return," you can only imagine how those poor people must have felt.
