Pikworo Slave camp, Historical slave transit site in Paga nania, Ghana.
The Pikworo camp contains underground holding cells, carved rocks for feeding, and a natural water spring in the Upper East Region of Ghana.
Operating from 1704 to 1845, Pikworo served as a slave auction center where English, French, and Dutch traders purchased people for transportation to coastal areas.
Local guides share detailed accounts of slave experiences through the preserved structures, emphasizing the significance of remembering this chapter of African history.
The historical site welcomes visitors daily, offering guided tours that explain the different areas and architectural elements of the former slave holding facility.
Large circular depressions carved into the rocks functioned as communal eating bowls, with their size indicating the number of slaves assigned to each formation.
