Abusua Pa Jigsaw Puzzle: Fort Amsterdam (216 Puzzle Pieces) – Pre-Order

Fort Amsterdam is a historic fort located in the town of Abandze in the Central Region of Ghana. It was built by the Dutch in 1638 as a trading post for gold and ivory, and later served as a slave trading station.

The fort was strategically located on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, allowing the Dutch to have a clear view of incoming ships. It was also built with stone walls and cannons to protect against attacks from rival European powers and indigenous groups.

During its occupation by the Dutch, Fort Amsterdam was an important center for the transatlantic slave trade, with thousands of Africans passing through its gates before being shipped off to the Americas.

Today, the fort is a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of Ghana’s colonial past. Visitors can tour the grounds and learn about the fort’s history through exhibits and guided tours.
