Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers

The National History Park – Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Haiti, recognized for its historical and cultural significance. Dating to the early 19th century, it features the grand Citadel Laferrière, a massive mountaintop fortress, the elegant ruins of Sans Souci Palace, and the fortified Ramiers site, all built after Haiti’s independence. These structures stand as powerful symbols of liberty, constructed by formerly enslaved people who fought for and won their freedom.
