Sans-Souci Palace, Royal palace in Milot, Haiti
Sans-Souci Palace rises from the hills of northern Haiti with grand staircases, multiple levels, and remains of classical architectural elements throughout the structure.
Built between 1810 and 1813 as the residence of King Henri Christophe, the palace marked Haiti's status as the first independent black republic in the world.
The palace halls hosted international dignitaries and royal ceremonies, demonstrating the refined social protocols and etiquette of the Haitian monarchy.
