Description


Fort Metal Cross

Fort Metal Cross is a military structure in Dixcove, Ghana. It was built in 1683 by the English Royal African Company as a trading post for the gold and slave trade. Brandenburg-Prussia started building Fort Groß Friedrichsburg about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of Dixcove in 1683, (now Princes Town) in the colony of Brandenburger Gold Coast but it was not completed until the 1690s.
