Fort Apollonia was a fort in the Gold Coast (present day Ghana), built by the British. Although it is a British fort, the name Apollonia was first given to the area by a Portuguese explorer who sighted the place on the Feast of St. Apollonia, 9th February. Apollonia was a 3rd century martry who had been a nun in Alexandria, Egypt.
