Aapravasi Ghat, Immigration depot in Port Louis, Mauritius
The Aapravasi Ghat immigration complex features stone buildings, steps leading to water, and multiple processing rooms for incoming laborers from different countries.
Between 1849 and 1923, over 450,000 Indian workers passed through this immigration station as part of the British Empire's contracted labor program.
The buildings stand as physical evidence of the migration that shaped Mauritius, where currently 68 percent of citizens trace their ancestry to Indian immigrants.
The Beekrumsing Ramlallah Interpretation Centre provides guided tours in seven exhibition rooms, explaining the migration process through artifacts and documents.
The stone steps at the waterfront entrance remain in their original state from 1860, marking the first contact point for thousands of arriving workers.
