Mayor’s Africa Tour

28/07/2022

Also known as St. George Castle, the Elmina Castle is the earliest European construction in the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest castle in sub-Saharan Africa.

With construction spanning approximately 4 years (1482-1486), it was first named São Jorge da Mina and used mainly for gold and ivory trade at the beginning.

In 1637 the Dutch army bombarded the castle from a nearby hill and took over control of it. They renamed it Elmina Castle.

It continued to be used as a trade center for gold and ivory as well as a slave center until 1814 when the Dutch abolished the slave trade.

It is estimated that about 30000 slaves were traded every year in Elima until the slave trade was abolished.

In 1872, Elima castle passed to British hands, but it wasn’t used as a trade center anymore. After the independence of Ghana in 1957, Elmina was used as a school and a police center for recruits.

Today, along with other slave castles in Ghana like the Cape Coast castle, Elmina is a World Heritage site.
