Elmina, Ghana: Fort Santiago / Santo Iago / Sao Jago / Sint Jago / Sao Tiago da Mina fort aka Fort Coenraadsburg / Conraadsburg / Conradsburg - Built by the Dutch West India Company (WIC) in 1652 , it is two hundred meters from the better known, older and larger Fort São Jorge da Mina (aka Elmina Castle). Fort Santiago da Mina sits atop a hill where the Portuguese built a fortified chapel between 1555 and 1558. It was from this hill that the Dutch bombarded the Portuguese fortress in 1637, taking it after several unsuccessful attempts in the previous decades. To prevent their enemies from conquering the recently captured Portuguese fortress from the hill of St. Jago, the Dutch fortified the hill with earthen ramparts. They converted the chapel into a residential building, built a watchtower and finally built Fort Sao Jago da Mina / Conraadsburg in 1652. The fort was never conquered, until in 1872, together with the rest of the Dutch Gold Coast, it was sold to the British - Unesco world heritage site.
