Salaga Slave Market is an 18th-century slave market located in the East Gonja District of northern Ghana. During the Trans-Atlantic slave trade, Salaga served as an important market where slaves were transported to the coast for export.[1][2][3] The market also served as outposts for the movement of slaves along the trans-Saharan routes.[4]
