Hello, one more from the Gold Coast as this is a lovely stamp and showing a castle with some interesting history.
It is actually Osu Castle
also know as Christiansborg Castle and is found in Accra, Ghana.
You can read more if you are interested but in summary it is on the coast of
the Gulf of Guinea and is a substantial fort built by Denmark-Norway in the
1660s. It changed hands a few times with Portuguese then British
ownership before Ghana took control after independence.
Enjoy the history behind the stamps Michel cddstamps.com
