Fort Apollonia is a fort in Benyin, Ghana built in the year 1768. The name Apollonia was given to the area by a Portuguese explorer who sighted the place on the feast of Apollonia. It was part of the British Gold Coast during colonialism which served as a trading post in the year 1768 and became a fort in 1770.
After it was bombed in 1873 by the British on the attack of Beyin on account of its collusion with the Ashantis it was rehabilitated in 1962 and completed in 1968 by the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board. FORT APOLLONIA, THE BEAUTIFUL MUSEUM OF THE NZEMA PEOPLE, AND HISTORY
