The Portuguese built Elmina Castle in the 1600s as a trading post for captive Africans and other “goods.” It amazes me how the Europeans fought each other for land and people that were not even theirs. We visited the dungeons and the one-way doors that led to the slave ships. Above the captives were the living quarters for the governors and his men to look down into the courtyard and select the women they wanted brought to them. I can only imagine the horror, but the stories must be told so it never happens again. @royallandtours
