Ouidah

Ouidah was originally known as Glēxwé, which means 'Farmhouse'.

In 1860, Whydah sent the last recorded shipment of slaves to the United States aboard the Clotilda.

Ouidah is often considered the spiritual capital of the Vodun religion.

The Route des Esclaves features numerous statues and monuments, including the Door of No Return.

Cudjoe Lewis, Redoshi, and Matilda McCrear were the last known survivors of the Transatlantic slave trade.
