According to Reuters, U.S. First Lady Melania Trump visited the a slave castle in Ghana.

Nowadays, the castle is predominantly known as the Slave Castle; however, once it was known as Elmina Castle. On the shore of the Cape Coast, it was first known as a castle for the Fante line. Throughout time, it became a trading post as the Dutch and Portuguese fought over the castle. Eventually, the fortress was taken by the British Empire.

During the British Empire days, it became part of the part of the Atlantic Slave Trade, also known as the West Africa Slave Trade.

First Lady Melainia Trump visited infamous sites within as well, such as “The Door of No Return,” which is the castle’s exit toward the Atlantic Ocean. The tour guide sang for the first lady at this exit, and the first lady laid a wreath. The Slave Castle has attracted many visitors, including former U.S. President Barack Obama. The former president compared the the castle to a Nazi concentration camp.

During its time as a slave castle, shackled males and females were crammed into dungeons, without food and water. Many died due to illness. Women were raped. Above the dungeons, the governor’s office was furnished. The Slave Castle is now a monument.
