}}Fort William is located on Dawson's Hill in the old centre of Cape Coast, in Ghana's Central Region. The building was first constructed by the British under Governor Hope-Smith in 1820, and it was named Smith's Tower. In the 1830s it was reconstructed in more durable materials and renamed Fort William. Since then it has served as a lighthouse.[1]

Currently, the building houses Ghana Museums & Monuments Board staff. Fort William is well maintained and open to visitors.[2]
