Fort Nassau, Dutch colonial fort in Moree, Ghana
Fort Nassau stands on the coastline of Ghana, featuring stone walls that extend toward the Gulf of Guinea at coordinates 5.133333, -1.2.
The Dutch West India Company constructed Fort Nassau in 1612 as a trading post, establishing one of the earliest European fortifications on the Gold Coast.
Fort Nassau represents a critical period in Ghana's past as a structure that facilitated trade exchanges between European merchants and local communities.
