If you take a flight to Freetown the capital of Sierra Leone with Brussels Airlines, you will be taking a trip to one of the most historically poignant places in the history of Africa. As your flight to Freetown descends, you will notice that the City is situated on a peninsula in the Atlantic Ocean, built on one of the few natural harbors in West Africa. Today, many people take a flight to Freetown on business – Freetown is the economic and administrative capital of this region and there is a lot of trade in precious stones and minerals. But anyone who takes a flight to Freetown cannot help but be affected by its history. Freetown was founded in 1787 and then became the home of liberated slaves. This history is still obvious to visitors to this fascinating city. For example, Freetown is divided into a number of districts that were created when each nationality of slaves founded its own district. Fort Thornton, which is now the presidential palace, and St. George’s Cathedral are highly recommended as historic sights. You should also, of course, pay a visit to one of the large number of churches and mosques, which are some of the attractions of the city.
