Fort of São João Baptista de Ajudá in in Ouidah, Benin; November 9, 2019; The Fort of St. John the Baptist of Ouidah is a small restored fort in Ouidah, Benin. Built in 1721, it was the last of three European forts built in that town to tap the slave trade of the Slave Coast. Following the legal abolition of the slave trade early in the 19th century, the Portuguese fort lay abandoned most of the time until it was permanently reoccupied in 1865. Ouidah is known for its role in the 17th- to 19th-century Atlantic slave trade.
