The Castle Chapel

The main chapel of Cape Coast Castle was situated directly over the mens dungeon below. The plaque just visible to the left of the main dungeon entrance is to commemorate the visit of Barrack and Michelle Obama to the castle, approximately a week before this photograph was taken. Michelle Obama may have had ancestors who were traded through this castle.
