Haiti [Ayiti]: Sans Souci Palace

 

“The early history of the Citadelle Laferrière and SansSouci Palace parallels the rise and fall of Henri Christophe as king of Haiti in the years following the expulsion of the French from the colony of Saint-Domingue. These buildings stand as monuments to the promise and ambition of an independent black nation in the heart of the West Indies, and to a tragic phase of the revolution that began with the defeat of Napoleon’s army in 1804 and the establishment of the nation of Haiti.” [Peter Minosh]  Read More
