Offer Description

Abusua Pa Jigsaw Puzzle: Fort Amsterdam captures the stark beauty and layered history of one of Ghana’s oldest European-built forts. Built by the Dutch in 1638 in the town of Abandze, Fort Amsterdam stands as a powerful symbol of the colonial and transatlantic slave trade legacy on Ghana’s Central coastline.
✨ Originally constructed as a trading post for gold and ivory, the fort later served as a major slave trading station, playing a central role in one of history’s darkest periods.
✨ Perched on a hill overlooking the Atlantic, its location gave Dutch traders a strategic advantage—both visually and militarily.
✨ The structure’s stone walls, cannons, and lookout points offer a glimpse into the colonial power dynamics and the violence of empire-building.
✨ Today, the fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site and educational museum, drawing local and international visitors who seek to understand Ghana’s past and honor the memory of the millions affected by the transatlantic slave trade.
✅ Key Highlights
• Historically significant depiction of Fort Amsterdam in puzzle form
