The first capital of the Gold Coast, now known as Ghana, was Cape Coast. Established in the late 15th century, Cape Coast served as a major center for the transatlantic slave trade and was the seat of colonial administration until the capital was moved to Accra in 1877. The city is historically significant for its forts and castles, which are remnants of European colonial influence.
