About Fort Metal Cross
Fort Metal Cross, originally Fort Dixcove, is a military structure in Dixcove, Ghana. Brandenburg-Prussia started building Fort Groß Friedrichsburg about 15 kilometres west of Dixcove in 1683, in the colony of Brandenburger Gold Coast but it was not completed until the 1690s.
