  A museum with few artefacts.. only half a dozen original items on display. Electronic screens depicted in Portuguese and English give a brief summary of the slave trade but it does not go in to much detail at all. Does very little to explain the situation in which slaves were captured and transported and exploited. If you know absolutely nothing about the history of slavery then visit the place, otherwise spend the €3 entrance fee on a couple of glasses of wine at a local wine bar and look up Wikipedia!

  Two story structure, housing a modest museum about the Slave trade. It was formally a military office, that the slaves walked past, as they offloaded from the ships. Docent is well informed about the middle passage, and when questioned, was able to answer questions about the number of slaves per vessel. Directed me to the plaza, before the former city entrance, where the slaves were actually auctioned. Electronic tablets are issued for the tour can be pointed at exhibits for extended information. Excellent maps of the various slave trade routes. An institution worth supporting.

  Budynek, jak budynek, zabytek. Ważniejsze jest to co się w tym budynku znajdowało. Był to targ niewolników. Taka ciekawostka.
