Famous for its role in the history of the slave trade, Benin is now a tourist destination. In the past, its coasts were home to the slave ships, bound for the to the distant colonies of the Caribbean.
The beach of Djègbadji was the last stop for the slaves, the last vision of the land of their ancestors. These chained men and women were taken away never to return.
Tens of millions of slaves by their blood and sweat enriched the initiators and the beneficiaries of the triangular ebony trade.
Named "The Door of No Return", this place of memory symbolizes the tragedy of the triangular trade.
