St George’s Castle, a Unesco heritage site, was built as a trading post by the Portuguese in 1482, and captured by the Dutch in 1637.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Castle was erected by the Portuguese in 1482 as Castelo de São Jorge da Mina (St. George of the Mine Castle), also known as Castelo da Mina or simply Mina (or Feitoria da Mina), in present-day Elmina, Ghana (formerly the Gold Coast). It was the first trading post built on the Gulf of Guinea, and the oldest European building in existence south of the Sahara.[1] First established as a trade settlement, the castle later became one of the most important stops on the route of the Atlantic slave trade. The Dutch seized the fort from the Portuguese in 1637, after an unsuccessful attempt to the same extent in 1596, and took over all of the Portuguese Gold Coast in 1642. The slave trade continued under the Dutch until 1814. In 1872, the Dutch Gold Coast, including the fort, became a possession of Great Britain.
中文：这座城堡于 1482 年由葡萄牙人建造，名为 Castelo de São Jorge da Mina（矿山城堡的圣乔治），也称为 Castelo da Mina 或简称 Mina（或 Feitoria da Mina），位于今加纳的埃尔米纳（以前的黄金海岸）。它是在几内亚湾建造的第一个贸易站，也是撒哈拉以南现存最古老的欧洲建筑。[1]这座城堡最初是作为贸易定居点建立的，后来成为大西洋奴隶贸易路线上最重要的站点之一。荷兰人于 1637 年从葡萄牙人手中夺取了这座堡垒，但在 1596 年以同样的程度失败了，并于 1642 年接管了整个葡萄牙黄金海岸。奴隶贸易在荷兰人的统治下一直持续到 1814 年。1872 年，荷兰黄金海岸，包括堡垒，成为英国的财产。 |
