ÎLE DE GORÉE

SYMBOLIC HOME OF THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE
ÎLE DE GORÉE, SENEGAL  

Ile Goree was a prominent slave-trading centre on the West-African coast between the 15th - 19th centuries. The role that this small island played in the slave trade was due to its geographic position at the westernmost point of the African continent. Île de Gorée (the Island of Gorée) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Zamani Project team spatially documented the House of Slaves, the Villa Victoria Albis and the Fort d’Estrées on the island in 2016.
