Potree in Motion
Elmina Castle, built in 1482, sits largely intact on Ghana’s coast as the oldest European structure in Sub-Saharan Africa. In its prime, the castle was used to protect gold trade and hold enslaved people waiting to be shipped to the Americas. Now, the castle is part of a UNESCO-protected world heritage site and a focus of Rochester’s Digital Heritage of West African Monuments Field School.
