Located in Dixcove, Fort Metal Cross is a powerful reminder of Ghana’s colonial past. Originally built by the English in the late 1600s, the fort served as a trading post — for gold, ivory, and, tragically, enslaved Africans.
Its whitewashed ramparts and cannons face the Atlantic, standing stoic above the colorful fishing village below. Guided tours reveal the fort’s complex role in commerce, conflict, and colonization. The view from the rooftop offers one of the most scenic coastal panoramas in the region.
