Fort St.Jago — Local services in Central Region

Fort Coenraadsburg also known as Fort São Tiago da Mina, located right across Elmina or George's Castle, is a fort built in 1652. It was built on the site of a fortified chapel, St. Jago, that the Portuguese had built but which was burned by the Dutch in 1637. This building is less visited than the Elmina Castle, but the view of the Elmina bay and Castle, from here is spectacular. Great photography point. The building itself is not well preserved but it still gives a sense of the construction of the time. Worth visiting if you are already visiting Elmina...

Fellow Google Local guide P.J Kradolfer has said it all in his erudite review of this beautiful and strategically positioned Fort Coenraadsburg. Kudos...

Great fort, ascending and descending the fort is great exercise. A smart location by colonial masters to guard...
