Sekondi Travel Guide

Sekondi is the old colonial city just north of the modern seaport of Takoradi. Most people will be staying the but a visit to Sekondi is a must.

The main sights are the Old European Town where you find houses built by the English and the Dutch. They are in pretty bad shape, today. Fort Orange was built by the Dutch in the first half of the 17-th century and captured by the Sahanti in 1694. When they abandoned the fort the English moved in and the fort was turned into a busy trading post. It is now used as a lighthouse and can be visited.
