The Experience

Echoes of History on Ghana’s Coast

Step into the past at Fort Metal Cross, located in Dixcove along Ghana’s Western Region. Built by the British in 1698, the fort was originally named Fort Dixcove and later became known as Fort Metal Cross due to its role in the transatlantic trade. Over centuries, it served as a trading post, a military stronghold, and a colonial administrative center. Today, it stands as a powerful reminder of Ghana’s coastal heritage, offering travelers a chance to explore its stone walls, hidden chambers, and sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean. This tour blends history, culture, and coastal scenery, making it a must‑visit for heritage explorers.
