A slave fort, also known as a slave dungeon or castle, is a historic site where enslaved Africans were held captive before being transported to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. These forts were used by European colonial powers, such as the Portuguese, Dutch, British, and Spanish, as holding and processing centers for enslaved individuals. Many of these forts still exist along the coast of West Africa and serve as reminders of this dark chapter in history.
