A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1978, Gorée is an essential place of remembrance. The House of Slaves bears witness to a painful chapter in human history.
A twenty-minute ferry ride across Dakar Bay leads to Gorée. The deeply moving House of Slaves and its museum preserve the memory of people held here before being taken across the Atlantic.
Beyond this history, Gorée offers colourful lanes, Saint-Charles-Borromée church, panoramic views from the Castel, and a lively community of artists and galleries.
