Elmina is a fishing port, and the places to visit in Elmina include Elmina Castle, built by the Portuguese in 1482 and the oldest European building south of the Sahara. The Dutch later used it in the slave trade. The harbour is packed with painted wooden canoes, and the Fort St Jago on the hill gives a panoramic view of the town.
