From outside, the fortress has a nice look, but once inside its history dawns on you.
During the trips, because of the hardships of the voyage, an important part of the slaves died, thus rendering only the strongest and reliable ones upon arrival. While walking around the fortress and listening to the explanations given by my guide, I tried to imagine how people must have felt there. Despite the hot climate, cold shivers ran down my spine upon seeing this organized way of robbing people of their freedom and tearing them apart from their homeland, their families, their culture.
