One of the most unique features of the ancient Fort Victoria in Cape Coast is a hidden tunnel that was built for Queen Victoria.
In an interview with 's Etsey Atisu, Mathias, the caretaker of the fort, disclosed that Queen Victoria used the tunnel to enter the fort from the Cape Coast Castle and vice versa, while soldiers used another staircase entrance. "During its operational years, Queen Victoria did not use the normal entrance of the fort but rather a tunnel.
Only the soldiers used the normal entrance," he stated.
Fort Victoria, built between 1821 and 1828, played a significant role in the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the gold trade between Ghana and Britain.
