Fort Santo Antonio was a fort built by the Portuguese in 1515 near the town of Axim in what is now the West African country of Ghana. In 1642 the Dutch captured the fort and subsequently made it part of the Dutch Gold Coast. The Dutch expanded the fort considerably before they turned it over with the rest of their colony to the British in 1872. The fort is now the property of the Ghanaian state and is open to the public.At this fort the Treaty of Axim was signed in 1642.
