Accra is the capital and largest city of Ghana, located on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. It served as the capital of the British Gold Coast between 1877 and 1957 and has since transitioned into a modern metropolis. The capital’s architecture reflects this history, ranging from 19th-century colonial architecture to modern skyscrapers and apartment blocks. Accra is Ghana’s economic and administrative hub and is the thirteenth-largest metropolitan area in Africa.
