Stock photography, photos: Fort Metal Cross - Ghana Stock photos of The Dixcove Fort was built by the British in 1691 and was the only British Fort in a Dutch-controlled territory for the better part of two centuries. It was captured by the Dutch in 1868 and renamed Metalen Kruiz and then later returned to the British in 1872 along with all the other Forts along the coast. The name stayed but was changed into the English version - Metal Cross. The fort has recently been restored (July of 2003) as part of an agreement granting a British company the rights to build a resort hotel nearby, overlooking the sea at Dixcove in the Western Region of Ghana, West Africa.
