Tourist sites to enjoy while in Oliver Cottage:
Cape Coast Castle
This castle has survived many gruelling times. It contains evidence of the slave trade period and is one of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites due to its history. The castle has been ruled by many powers since it was built. It was first ruled by the Dutch before the Swedes took over and renamed it Fort Carolusburg in 1652. Both local and European powers contested for ownership of the castle until it was finally captured by the British in 1664 after a four-day battle. It was then renamed Cape Coast Castle, a name it bears to this day. It became Britain’s seat of power in Ghana before the seat was moved to Christianborg Castle in Accra.
Elmina Castle
Elmina is known as the first point of contact between Europeans and Ghana. The Portuguese adventurer Diego D’Azambuja was the first European to land on the shores of Elmina. He and his adventurers were so attracted to the abundance of gold they found here that they called the place "Mina de Ouro," referring to the vast amount of gold and ivory in the area. About 11 years later, Elmina Castle was built.
Kakum National Park
This tropical rainforest in Ghana is home to about 40 different mammals, including elephants, mona monkeys, civets, and buffaloes. There are also about 250 different bird species in this park, making it a great spot for birding. Another interesting feature of the park is the 350-meter-long canopy walkway, hanging about 30 meters above the ground. The canopy walkway allows tourists to have a great view of the wildlife and plants in the park. The park also has campsites for those who wish to spend the night.
Fort St. Jago
Built about 300 meters from Elmina Castle, this fort was initially constructed as a chapel but was later converted into a watchtower, serving as a base for the Dutch attack on Elmina Castle. It also served as a prison for European convicts in those days.
Beaches
One thing you should never tire of seeing in Ghana is the many beaches along the coastal areas of the country. Cape Coast itself has many such beaches, all of which are great places to relax and have fun.
Posuban Shrines
These shrines are known for their colorfulness and mythical significance. They are located not far from Elmina Castle and were owned by the Asafo companies. These people, who once performed military duties, are now known for their peaceful, ceremonial self-service nature. Each of the shrines is symbolic of one of the Asafos.
Assin Manso Slave River
Slaves were brought to this river to have their last bath before being imprisoned in the castles or forts, awaiting their voyage to slavery in other countries.
The University of Cape Coast (Current best Univerisyt in Ghana)
The University of Cape Coast was established in October 1962 as a university college and placed in a special relationship with the University of Ghana, Legon. On 1 October 1971, the college attained the status of a full and independent University, with the authority to confer its own degrees, diplomas and certificates by an Act of Parliament. The university was established out of a dire need for highly qualified and skilled manpower in education. Its original mandate was, therefore, to train graduate professional teachers for Ghana's second cycle institutions and the Ministry of Education in order to meet the manpower needs of the country's accelerated education programme at the time. Today, with the expansion of some of its Faculties/Schools and the diversification of programmes, the university has the capacity to meet the manpower needs of other ministries and industries in the country, besides that of the Ministry of Education
