Fort Bullen
Fort Bullen is a historic fort located on the mouth of the River Gambia, North Bank Division, The Gambia. It was built by English in 1826 AD with the intention of thwarting the slave trade when it became illegal in the British Empire after the Slave Trade Act in 1807 AD. The fort was abandoned in 1870 AD. Fort Bullen was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003 as part of Kunta Kinteh Island and Related Sites.
