Osu Castle, also known as Fort Christiansborg, is a 17th-century Danish-built fortress that later served as the seat of Ghana's government. Visitors can explore its dungeons, which evoke the transatlantic slave trade, and see state rooms used for official functions. The castle's coastal location provides striking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Its dual role as a museum and active presidential residence makes it a unique blend of history and contemporary politics.
