Trip to Elmina Slave Castle

The front of the Elmina Slave Castle
The room where the enslaved men were held
Behind these bars were where hundreds of enslaved people had to stay for weeks or months
Staircase connecting the enslaved women's room to the governor's corridors
The purpose of this room changed over history, but at one point it was used to separate people who resisted enslavement
The view the governor got to see from his office while enslaved people were below him
Today, the water levels are much lower, but this used to be where the ships would be stationed to load enslaved people
The room where hundreds of enslaved women were forced to live in
