| Ghana’s Yesterday and Today | ||
 |
Our history stretches back almost 2000 years to the riches of the ancient Ghana Empire, where trade in gold, ivory, salt and kola nuts created one of the most lavish nations in Africa, and attracted kinsmen from all over the continent. Europeans, drawn by the abundance of our land, came to trade and left behind their legacy including 32 forts and castles (the most in any sub-Saharan African country) along our shoreline. The commercial and political heart of Ghana, Accra is a modern gateway to one of Africa’s ancient lands and one of Africa' most vibrant & contemporary cities, which is also home to some 3.5 million people. |

During the days of slave trade and colonialism, many of our people and those of other African lands, left our shores for the plantations of America and the Caribbean, creating a large Diaspora. Today, citizens of many states around the world still acknowledge and treasure their family links with Ghana, returning to explore those links and to experience the soul of their motherland. |
