Accra is the capital of the Republic of Ghana, the country's largest city and political, economic and cultural center, located on the Gulf of Guinea coast, and is one of the major port cities in West Africa. As the commercial hub of Ghana, Accra has a well-developed light industry, service sector, and financial sector, and the Port of Tema (West Africa's deepest man-made harbor) is adjacent to the east of the city, making it a key node for regional trade. The city blends tradition and modernity, with remnants of colonial architecture (e.g., Arch of Independence, Black Star Square) and vibrant markets (e.g., Makola Market) and contemporary art centers. With a hot and humid climate and stable temperatures throughout the year, the city attracts tourists and investors from all over the world and is one of the most dynamic cities in West Africa.
