House of Slaves
The House of Slaves is a historic building on Gorée Island, Senegal. Built in 1776, it has a distinctive staircase that leads to a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. This site is an important reminder of the transatlantic slave trade, where enslaved people were held before being shipped to the Americas. It is now a museum dedicated to educating visitors about this tragic history.
