Accra Coast Tour

Overview of Downtown Accra

Accra Coast Tour is a day spent in the South Coast of Accra. The 3 main sites we will visit is Independence Square, Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Brazil House. The Independence Arch in Accra, Ghana, is part of the Independence Square which contains monuments to Ghana’s independence struggle, including the Independence Arch, Black Star Gate, and the Liberation Day Monument. The Independence Square is the second largest City Square in the world after the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China. The Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and memorial park is dedicated to the prominent Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah. The memorial complex was dedicated in 1992, and is situated on the site of the former British colonial polo grounds in Accra. Brazil House is a house of the representative group of people that decided to come back from Brazil named the Tabom People. They came back on a ship called SS Salisbury, offered by the British government. About seventy Afro-Brazilians of seven different families arrived in South Ghana and Accra, in the region of the old port in James Town in 1836.
