There is a tall stump to real life this is just on the left entrance it has a lot of secrets about the slave trade and the slaves, who were being captured, traded and chained to it either after bathing or before. |

The majority of the slaves came from, what is today, Northern Ghana, Burkina Faso. See also the Slave Route Project, and the Kingdom of Dagbon. See also below location map of Donkor Nsuo.
Elmina Castle - This castle acted as a depot where slaves were bought in bartering fashion from local African chiefs and kings. The slaves, often captured in the African interior ( see above) by the slave-catchers of coastal tribes, were sold to Portuguese traders in exchange for goods such as textiles and horses.
The slaves were held captive in the castle before exiting through the castle’s infamous “Door of No Return” to be transported and resold in newly colonized Brazil and other Portuguese colonies. It is said that no man can pass through without feeling the deep emotions of the slaves that were captive and exited through the "Door of No Return".
