Attraction
A hilltop monument overlooking Cape Coast and the Atlantic.
Why visit
Fort Victoria stands on a hill in western Cape Coast. Built in 1821 on the site of an earlier fort, it served as a lookout and signalling post. GMMB preserves it as a monument.
Good to know
Ask GMMB about current access before climbing to the fort. The fee table on its website is dated February 2013, so confirm admission rather than relying on those prices.
