Antigua, Caribbean island in Saint Philip, Antigua and Barbuda
Located at the junction of the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, Antigua extends across 281 square kilometers of limestone formations and volcanic hills.
English settlers colonized the island in 1632, establishing sugar plantations that relied on enslaved African workers until emancipation in 1834.
The Antigua Carnival celebrates the end of slavery through traditional music performances, street parades, and food festivals each summer.
