Sans Souci Palace

This iconic monument embodies a fascinating part of Haiti's history and greatness.🇭🇹🌏🏛️ The thousands of questions I ask myself about this monument, about the life that reigned there, about what happened within these walls, the battles that were fought there, the words that were spoken there, the secrets hidden there, the mysteries buried there, the pride that brings tears to my eyes knowing that I am a descendant of a people who built this.

We can see that King Christophe had a taste for luxury to have built a palace of this kind with large courtyards. I wish I could see a picture right after it was built, unfortunately camera technology wasn't that advanced. What caught my attention the most was a bust I saw on one of the courtyards. According to an ancient, she represents the goddess of comedy.

A mind blowing historic site ! The ruins make the imagination reconstruct how luxe of a palace this must have been. The greenery surrounds you and the courts are so vast! The tree of justice still stands although held by cables but just a magnificent place

A wonderful experience, I was fortunate to have a tour guide that told me the history of the place. The advance functionality that I was this place had, is beyond my understanding.

This is a legendary monument at Milot, on the road toward the Citadelle Laferrière. The ruins are very gigantic, titanic and.. ouh.
