About this attraction
Fort William is sited on Dawson’s Hill in Cape Coast, in the Central Region of Ghana. Fort William was built in April 1820 on the site of a lookout post previously used for signalling purposes. The fort was built by the then English Governor, Hope Smith. It was named Smith’s Tower. Prior to 1838, the fort was converted to a lighthouse and renamed Fort William.
