This Fort Watched Kings Fall - Fort Metal Cross
A towering cross, a silent watchtower, and two kings who dared to defy the empire.
In this gripping episode, we uncover the chilling legacy of Fort Metal Cross in Dixcove—where colonial power wasn’t just enforced with guns, but with quiet surveillance and calculated exile.
From the beheading of King Badu Bonsu II to the defiant stand of King Amankwaah, this fort witnessed the fall of Ahanta resistance—stone by stone, king by king.
Was it just a trade post? Or something far more sinister?
