Milot, Haiti’s first site capital
View to Ramieux, the castle of Madame Christophe, from the Citadelle Laferrière (Citadelle Henri Christophe), a large mountaintop fortress, built between 1805 and 1820, part of a system of fortifications designed to keep the newly-independent nation of Haiti safe from the French. Note the piles of cannon balls: no shot was ever fired.
